First Day of School 2009

What an exciting morning it was at Edison Environmental Science Academy this morning! Teachers were making last minute tidy's to their rooms, the office was buzzing with parents, phone calls, and questions, and students began the year with warm welcomes from local celebrities. All of that happened before 8:00 AM!

We had a plethora of celebrity greeters to welcome students and parents alike back to another year of learning. Check out this roster of who's who in Kalamazoo!
  • Mayor Bobby Hopewell
  • Chief of Police Jeff Hadley
  • KPS Superintendent Dr. Michael Rice
  • Reverend Louis Felton
  • State Representative Robert Jones
These were just a few of the smiling faces awaiting the arrival of students. Each was equipped with a class list to make sure students knew where their classroom was. Sometimes, they would even walk the student right to class!

We are looking forward to a great school year at Edison. Keep an eye on this blog or follow our Twitter to keep up to date with all the great things happening!
