Are you a business who misses the days when Edison students would parade the streets so you could hand out treats on Halloween? Maybe you are a grandparent, or a Civic Organization. Maybe you just love Halloween or perhaps you live in the country and don't receive a lot of trick-or-treaters. We want YOU to join our Halloween fun this year!
You can email Jen Taylor at JTaylor@bristow.k12.ok.us to reserve a spot. We are hoping for fun truck or treat partners!!
If you have any questions you can reach out to Edison by phone or email Jen.
Costumes will be welcome! NO blood, gore, or weapons will be allowed.
Please be aware - SPACE IS LIMITED. First Come First SERVED!!! Message Jen, TODAY!

Purple Fridays are the best! Go PIRATES!!
Mrs. Smythe, our librarian, brought two 3D printers to Edison. The students and staff love watching the creations come alive!
What is something you'd like to see us try to make?
We have a few new faces at Edison this year. Now that we have gotten into the routine, it is time to introduce you to the new Crew on the Ship.
Meet Mrs. Martin. She is our new Art teacher. We are confident that you have seen the cute artwork coming home and hear the funny stories the kids like to tell. Instead of the boring, “get to know you” questions, we decided to go a little deeper.
Please help us welcome Mrs. Martin to the Pirate Family. We love her and know you will, too!

Second Grade is learning all about erosion. Ask your second grader what that means, how it occurs, and why it is important . They will be able to tell you!
First graders have been taste testing apples. They learn to sort, graph the color, taste, etc. They learn what a poll is and what it's used for. They guess and make predictions. There are so many ways to learn so many different things. What can you do at home to incorporate these skills?
See You at the Pole (SYATP) is a student led global day of prayer and unity in Christ, where students gather to pray for their schools, families, friends, churches, and communities. The event takes place annually on the fourth Wednesday in September, usually before school, and at the school's flag pole.
Edison had students who participated in leading this event this morning. It was a beautiful morning with beautiful weather.
Join us!
Learning is fun at Edison. While learning about the letter D, they also practiced learning the letters in their name.
Getting help from our High School Leadership students is icing on the cake!
Practice at home- letter names, placement, and the sounds the letters make. First and last names... all great skills for our tiny Pirates
This week at Edison Elementary.
