Dear Families, Inside this catalog, we’re excited to present a variety of interesting gift options for your friends, family, or yourself to bid on at our silent auction this February 14th. While you browse through these pages, please keep in mind that every item was generously donated by each respective business in our community. We truly thank them, as their generosity will allow us to raise thousands of dollars for Edison’s PTA. PTA fundraising helps support Edison in many ways. This year alone, we have needed to budget over $120,000 to pay for important educational expenses, such as: parttime teacher assistants in every classroom, technology instruction and test preparation software in elementary grades (2-5), and art programs - from orchestra to choir, and theater - throughout our school. Thank you for supporting your child’s quality of education at Edison Language Academy. Happy Bidding! Sincerely,
The Edison Language Academy PTA
A Special Thank You To Our Valentine’s Day Event Committee: Audrey Berry Carol Garcia-Ramirez Essie Blankson-Turner Gayle Pacifici Heidi Ross Jan Chantarasompoth Juanita Devis Nancy Currey Stefani Tovar Stefanie Gazzana Tanya Scott
As well as to all of the parent volunteers helping with this event. We couldn’t do it without you!
