Edison Elementary

After 24 years in education, including 19 years teaching 2nd grade, this was Mrs. Hinson’s final promotion before retirement. 💜💛 For nearly two decades, Mrs. Hinson has helped shape the hearts and minds of so many Edison students. From teaching lessons in the classroom to creating memories that will last a lifetime, her impact will forever be part of the Edison family. As she closes this chapter and begins a new journey in retirement, we want to thank her for the love, dedication, and countless lives she has touched over the years. Please join us in wishing Mrs. Hinson a wonderful retirement filled with joy, relaxation, and many new adventures ahead! 🎉🍎✨

🎓💜 Today was Second Grade Promotion at Edison! 💛🎓 What a bittersweet moment as we celebrate our amazing second graders and all they have accomplished this year.

Today we also recognized our Masonic Masonic Lodge Fraternity Teacher of the Day and Student of the Day for their hard work, leadership, and positive impact throughout the school year. We are so proud of each and every one of them! Congratulations, second graders — Collins is lucky to have you! Once a Pirate, always a Pirate! ☠️💜💛

Our bus drivers are such an important part of our school family! 🚌 They are the first smiling faces to greet our students each morning and the last ones to send them home safely in the afternoon.

Rain or shine, early mornings and long afternoons — they show up with patience, kindness, and big hearts for our students. They truly help set the tone for a great day of learning! We are so thankful for the incredible bus drivers who take such amazing care of our Edison & ECC students. 💜💛 If you see your child’s bus driver, take a moment to share a smile, a thank you, or a note of appreciation. They deserve it more than you know! 🚌
