member in your family has to be a member of ABC. Scholarship applications will be out in April 2015.

Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins.
Edison Innovation Lab
Over the past year a major transformation has taken
place in the former auto shop. What was once an
empty space is now an active science lab where students learn real world skills and do science. Created
through grants from the California Department of Education, private donations, and the school district, the Innovation Lab has an active aquaphonics program. Currently students are raising three species of fish and a
variety of plants. Students are helping to raise White
Sea Bass in conjunction with Hubbs-Sea World Research Institute. The sea bass will be released into
Huntington Harbor to help restore the stock of fish in the
local area. Trout raised in the lab are released in Big
Bear Lake to supplement that fish population. Tilapia
are raised to support the plants grown in tanks systems
maintained by the students. This lab was created to
provide students with real world hands-on experiences
in science and math. AP Statistics students are monitoring a variety of aspects of the lab as their class projects. Science students who visit the lab range from AP
Environmental students to SAC students. These students track plant growth, growth of fish, monitor water
quality, and feed the fish. Next we plan to add alternative energy sources to support the lab and provide students with that experience.

The Arts have a powerful influence on student learning
Arts education continues to be an integral part of a well-rounded, 21st century education program, which serves to educate the whole student for success in school and beyond. Imagine
classes in which students create original artwork filled with color that displays a creative use
of space, they develop their own rhythms, or they write and produce their own plays.
Through the arts, students learn to observe, interpret, see different perspectives, analyze,
and synthesize. These classes provide a wonderful environment for fostering creativity,
which is an important skill to have in a rapidly changing world, where career opportunities are
based on creative thinking. The arts foster higher levels of thinking that carry over to learning
other academic subjects as well as to life outside of school.

Financial Aid
The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is now available online at

All students wishing to be considered for SCHOLARSHIPS, GRANTS, WORK STUDY, and/or LOANS must fill out the FAFSA. The first step to apply for the FAFSA online is for the student and one parent to obtain a PIN number. PIN numbers are obtained at www.pin.ed.gov and are used as your electronic signature when you submit your FAFSA application online.
To receive a CAL GRANT (State money), you must submit your FAFSA application. Our District
Office will download all GPA’s for seniors online. The State will match your GPA with your name
and birth date from your FAFSA application. The Cal Grants can be used at University of California, California State University, California private institutions and California community colleges.
Some private institutions may require applicants to complete a CSS/Financial PROFILE at

as there is a fee through the College Board to complete this form.

click
CAREER CENTER. Remember, students should not have to pay for scholarship information! The Edison College & Career Center website contains valuable information regarding
careers and colleges including information on the UC System, Cal State University, Community Colleges, SAT/ACT test dates, college research and career development, volunteer service,
and forms students can use to stay organized.
Junior Parent Night – scheduled for Wednesday, January 7, 2015 at 6 p.m. in the Edison cafeteria. Students will receive their PSAT scores and access codes for the College Board website.
Students will receive college planning information for the community colleges, CSU’s, UC’s and
private colleges.
Edison Chargers are in full swing this semester embracing our theme for the year: Creating
the Future Together. ROP is a great way to begin creating that future. As we continue to
work to make our students college and career ready, career technical education (CTE)
classes are becoming more and more relevant. ROP offers CTE classes giving students the
opportunity to gain work experience along with enriching their academic schedule. More
and more we are hearing from the business sector and industries that students are academically ready, but they are not “skills ready” to enter the work force. ROP offers students an
opportunity to start gaining those skills early. Many of our ROP classes have an internship
component attached to them, where students put the skills they learned in the classroom
into practice. Participating in an internship has many benefits. It allows students to start
building their skills base, internships in fields related to a course of study shows perspective colleges that a student is serious about their course of study, and it also allows students
to explore areas of interest in a no cost setting.
Part of creating a future is exploring what that future has the potential to look like. Now is
the time for students to explore as many college and career options as they can. Studies
show students who take the time to explore different career choices before college are
more satisfied with their course of study/training than those who do not. So, as we look at
preparing students for the future, we need to make sure we are asking the right questions
for student success. Instead of asking a student where do you want to go to college or what
do you want to be, we need to be asking: What do you love to do? What are you good at?
What can you get paid to do?
Stop by and see Mrs. Krueger in the College and Career Center to explore the right ROP
option for you.

and elected officials to bring Edison families important and timely information.
Education and Programming: PTSA hosted a college planning presentation for parents
and students on October 2nd, “7 Steps to Graduate From a Top College Debt-Free.” Tom
Bottorf of GetCollegeFunding shared tips to enhance students’ chances of admission to the
colleges of their choice and the availability of and strategies to secure grants and scholarships to make college more affordable.
Youth Matters: On Wednesday, October 8th, PTSA sponsored morning and afternoon sessions of Parenting Teens 101 at which school psychologist Linda Temple discussed antistress and anxiety strategies for both students and their parents. Parents were able to share
their concerns and strategies and support each other. On Saturday, November 15th, PTSA

Attendees heard speakers Nanette Zumwalt, CEO & President of Hired Power and Stacy

were available to answer questions and provide resources. Thanks to Kim Green, the event
coordinator, her hard-working team of volunteers and generous donations from our business
community for making this event a success.

2nd Annual Resolution Run
This year the Resolution Run was held at Edison High School and consisted of a double loop touring the campus. It rained fiercely the week before flooding portions of our course, which required
running a “rain course.” The distance was a little short, but the clouds parted for the day and the
weather was exceptional for the run. Julia Sienski, a Senior at Edison and Jeff Thies, Edison Alum,
took top Female and Male trophies out of a field of approximately 200 hundred runners. Our Expo
Coordinator, Jeff Lam worked tirelessly to create the perfect expo, and that he did! The Resolution
Run Board and McKenna Clarie would like to give a special shout out to Edison Lacrosse and the
HB Fire Department for hosting an awesome breakfast bar and for feeding our volunteers.
Funds raised from this event benefit the McKenna Clarie Foundation which aids in Pediatric Brain
Cancer Research, as well as Edison High School Athletics and ASB. This year’s run raised
$8,800.00. Thank you to all who worked so hard to bring this race into reality and to those who
participated!
We hope to see YOU, next year…..AT THE
RACES!
