We are so proud to share Mrs. Evans is receiving the Generation AI Luminary Award for her work in developing the Career Exploration Chatbot our students used to learn about careers this year. She will be attending and presenting at ISTELive and ASCD Annual Conference next month in Orlando sharing how we leveraged AI to help our students learn and discover future career interests. She will also be a feature panelists at a dedicated panel for three of our ten Luminary winners. Congratulations, Mrs. Evans!!

Ms. Divanno’s students spent some time cleaning up around Edgar Field on Friday afternoon. The students enjoyed making a positive impact on our environment.

Mr. Borg's Life Science classes have been learning about Natural Selection! In the case of the Peppered Moth, they learned it was an organism whose camouflage adapted to the changing environment caused by the Industrial Revolution in the 1800s. After performing research on the topic, students in the class had the opportunity to create their own moths with "adaptive camouflage" around the classroom. Needless to say, they were incredibly creative in their responses!

Happy Mother’s Day to all of our Edgar moms!! We hope you have a wonderful day with your families!

During their Civil War unit, Ms. Vaughn’s 6th grade Social Studies students explored how soldiers communicated across battlefields. Using a semaphore flag cipher disk, they worked together to send and decode messages and bring history to life!

Yesterday we had a wonderful Take Your Child to Work Day. Not only did we host our staff members’ children but our students were able to apply to shadow staff throughout the day. A great way to learn about all of our different careers. Thank you to Ms. Palmer for organizing the day!
