Edison High School Athletic Boosters Annual Tag Day This Saturday!

Edison High School athletes, accompanied by parents
and coaches, are taking to the streets of the neighborhoods that surround
the high school on Saturday, March 15th from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm.  Over the
years, budget cuts and realignment of funding has left the athletics program
with a short fall.  In an effort to close the gap, the athletes will be
going door to door asking our neighbors for support.  Donations that are
collected will be used to purchase uniforms, equipment and provide for repair and
maintenance to our facilities.  While Edison High School was recently
renovated, the Athletic Boosters provide the largest contributions to capital
improvements of the athletic facilities. 

Edison's athletic teams have long been a standout in
county athletics and that is something we should be proud of since we are one
of the smallest high schools in the county.  Just
this year our Edison Field Hockey team qualified for play in the regional tournament and the  Lady Eagles Basketball team clinched the  Conference 13 and Regional Championships.  Edison's wrestling team sent 5 wrestlers to the state tournament and for the first time since 2000, we recorded a state champion in wrestling.  We are very proud of our athletes!



Students that are involved in athletics have better
study habits, better time management skills and the discipline and teamwork
they learn through athletics carry over to other areas of their lives.

Much of what Edison Athletics has accomplished is due
to the support of the community.  Years of strong athletic training in rec
leagues such as LMVSC, NVGSA, Pioneer Baseball, Lee-Franconia Football and Lee
District Basketball has kept a long line of well trained athletes heading to
Edison. 



When the athletes of Edison knock on your door
Saturday, please help us continue our tradition of excellence by making a tax
deductible donation.
