We would like to take a moment to thank everyone for a wonderful first week of school at Edmunds Central. We are excited for our new partnership with the Bowdle School District and appreciate the patience, flexibility, and assistance they have provided us throughout the week. Likewise, our students and their parents deserve a ton of credit for how they have handled the many transitions taking place in our building. Things haven't been perfect, but collectively we have met each challenge with enthusiasm and resolve. We certainly appreciate your grace and patience as we work to make things as efficient and effective as we can for our families. Lastly, we would like to thank our teachers and staff members. The success we experienced this week would not be possible without your hard work, enthusiasm, and flexibility. There is a lot of "new" going on in our district and we are incredibly fortunate to have great teachers and staff members that make a difference each and every day. Thanks again to everyone. We appreciate you!
It's time to cheer on all of our Fall athletes and coaches! Go Thunder!
