"Finishing our 8th year at Edison with mostly good things to say. It's located in a great neighborhood, and everyone there, crossing guard/administrators/teachers/aides/custodians/lunch ladies, and all the volunteers, who put in countless hours for free, with no benefit to themselves) get nothing but my thanks and respect for all that they do. However, instead of complaining, suspecting, stating you wont get involved cause you can't get along with other adults, try being mature and go help, regardless of whatever insecurities you have that make you feel excluded. The principal, among many others, has done an excellent job transitioning this school from a regular corner school, to the districts GATE Academy. The quality of teachers, who've been trained and certified to continue on at Edison, is excellent. My kids get a first class education, which isn't easy to do with all the budget cuts and the large growth in student population. I look forward to our future years at this school, and from what I have heard of other schools, especially from parents that used to have kids in the other schools, Edison is the best. Now if we just had a bigger campus, life would be perfect."

"Wow, you dislike pta, dont attend those events, wont bother voting and dont like the parents that have run pta. And who has the problem? Seems if you indeed cared, you would have attended pta meetings to see whats up or attended a school site council meeting or for that matter addressed your concerns during a coffee with the principal. Taking it to the district level without addressing it with the principal. Many love to complain but rarely do anything to change the situation. And for the record I am not on the board of pta/ssc/elac and this is my first year here. You get what you put in. I go to those meetings because I want to help and know whats going on. and yes I help in the classroom too. Im very involved in the district. If you would like to discuss things, I am available. I wont hide and be anonymous. I am Cindy Munoz and am at the school every day at 7:15, parked in front of the school. Let me know if you want to get some answers or better yet get involved."

"I saw that form too. it was kinda confusing but I don"t want to get involved or help those pta moms. it"s like a club where you have to be in good with the principal and the teachers. I like to help my teacher but those girls get treated special even though lot"s of us help the school. I won"t vote and I know other moms who don"t help them or go to the events they plan. I agree that unless new people are on that board then why bother. If you think something shady is up. you should check it out at the district. I will talk to my husband too. he"s not going to like that and problably will get mad about it. our school is not very friendly to everyone. Who cares about PFO if the same moms are running it. it won"t do any good complaining the principal is friends with the pta moms."

"I joined the committee for the Fall Festival and technically it was organized and run by the PTA while the Principal had the craft fair in the quad. As for the desserts, well that was the ELAC parents not the PTA (wish people would get their facts straight before sharing their opinions). Our family had a wonderful time at the festival and we hope that they do it again next year. For it being their first one I think the PTA did a wonderful job. Also, I like how they ve done different things at different locations, not just Chick-fil-A like previous years. I have never really been involved as I work full time but have enjoyed getting to know the ladies. It would be great if more parents got involved. Now most importantly what this site is for, I have noticed a positive change in my child s education this year. She seems to be more excited to learn than ever before. While I ve always liked the teachers, the upper grade teachers are amazing! I hope the school continues to improve next year too."

"Went to our first event at this school. Saturday they had a fall festival. The principal did a great Jon organizing this event! There was games for all kids! all ages! The pta put some good food together but their chocolate cake and desserts weren't good at all. The principle had the right idea with the carnival. She had a lot of game booth. The only negative thing is I hardly saw any teachers there. You would think the principal would make it mandatory. We might want to support them more if they did I mean its there school to. Had a great time! Hope they do it again next year."
