Edgemont’s Robotics wins this season include third place in the Inspire Award, the FTC New York Excelsior Championship’s highest overall honor!

When the second graders in Alexis Langer’s class entered Jillian Edwards’ fourth grade classroom, they were greeted with smiles and waves.

Across the school, students settled into a space that was both familiar and nostalgic. They were in last year’s classrooms, reading books with last year’s teachers!

“We played chess with the locals in Santo Domingo!” “We were escorted by a motorcade as we toured Santiago!” “We slid and swam in the pools of the 27 waterfalls of Rio Damajagua!”

From the check-in to the wrap up, the students in Seely Place Elementary’s Fifth Grade Principal’s Advisory Committee had a lot to say. What they shared was from the heart and top of mind and said a lot about how comfortable they felt with each other, and with their principals.

Edgemont’s elementary schools kicked off Thanksgiving break with their annual Turkey Trots, untimed community runs that get every student moving while building school spirit. At Greenville, grade levels took turns running one to three laps as classmates cheered and showed off gratitude-themed decorated bibs. At Seely Place, students spent about 20 minutes running, walking, or jogging to holiday music, wearing handmade hats, carrying class posters, and joining a friendly spirit competition alongside local police and firefighters. In both schools, the event also connected to STEAM learning and led into student-created balloon float parades that celebrated creativity, collaboration, and community.
