Edison is a shining light in this neighborhood. Over the past few years I have come to know and love many members of the Edison Elementary family. Edison is warm and wonderful school. Through the active participation of families and the love and dedication of great teachers, principal, and staff Edison children not only learn academics, they learn that they are responsible for themselves and everyone around them. It is obvious in the energy that flows throughout the building that these children are loved. It is evident in the bright and loving eyes of each child that attends Edison that they know that they are safe. I have been very blessed to be a part of this great family. I hope everyone else feels the same. P.S. Mrs. R.Johnson,Miss Fisher,Mrs. Kirby,Miss Keys,Mrs. Keel,Miss Baxter,Mrs. Coley,Mr. Tolwe, and Mr. Hitchcock- We Love You!
At this school they try very hard to promote ethnicity. However, pledge of allegiance states 'one nation'. Our children have been raised to believe that there are no color boundaries. If they are going to teach history, it should be for all ethnic backgrounds. Most of the teachers at this school are wonderful.
I LOVE Edison Elementary! We transferred our 1st grade special needs son to Edison 2 years ago. (Previously our son had been in one of Tacoma's highest rated public schools, but they were not effectively meeting my son's special needs.) Edison staff are committed, caring and have the most up-to-date teaching methods for reading. Their 'Walk to Read' program ensures that each child is taught reading at their level and is allowed to progress at their own pace. Look at the gains this school has made in test scores. My special needs son made > 2 years' progress in reading, writing and math in one year on standardized testing. This is THE BEST school in Tacoma for special ed, and Ethel Trawick is THE BEST principal with THE BEST team in Tacoma. My severely dyslexic son can read -- he now has a chance at a future. THANK YOU, EDISON ELEMENTARY!!
