Eagles Cheer Team 
The Edgewood Eagle's Cheer Team won 1st place on Saturday at the Universal Cheerleading Association's Southern California Regional Competition!  This was the team's first time at the competition and they did an amazing job!  They competed in the Youth Recreation division and were so happy to receive their award!  Coaches, staff members, family, and friends were all impressed by the team's energy, synchronization, and routine difficulty!  Thank you to those who participated in the Eagle Mascot Fundraiser to help pay for the competition!  It was by far their best performance! Next stop, the California State Championship Competition on January 23rd at the Long Beach Pyramid.  Congratulations Eagles!
Toy Drive for CHOC
CHOC 
The spirit of the holiday season is underway, and it's time for our 11th Annual Toy Drive starting Monday, Nov. 15th, and ending Friday, Dec. 10th. This event is sponsored by the Character Development Department at the Edgewood Campus and is our fourth year in participating. With appreciation to all who participate, we are asking all our families to help us by donating a toy for a boy or girl who is in CHOC - Children's Hospital of Orange County. These children would truly benefit from receiving a special gift on Christmas morning and all year long.

Due to infection control and in order to protect the patients, the toys MUST be NEW and UNWRAPPED. We are unable to send USED toys to the hospital. The toys will be picked up at school by one of our business office staff people, Judy Coderre, and her friends from the Orange Coast Harley Davidson's Chapter. They will come to the Edgewood Campus on Friday, December 10th from 11:40-12:15 pm via motorcycles to pick up the toys.

If you would like to donate toys to a patient at CHOC, please drop off at your child's classroom now till the December 10th. Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact
Jonna Powell, Activities Director, [email protected] or
Liane Harper, Character Development Dept., [email protected]

Talon's Book Report
 Bad Case of the Stripes
A Bad Case of the Stripes by David Shannon. This book is about
Camilla Cream who loves lima beans, but she never eats them. Why? Because the other kids in her school don't like them. And Camilla Cream is very, very worried about what other people think of her. In fact, she's so worried that she's about to break out in...a bad case of stripes! The moral of the story...be yourself! Don't worry about what others think of you. This story was read to Junior Kindergarten through Kindergarten.
