The Edgewood Historical Society is now in its third year. We recently began meeting this year with a new group of 18 students and a dedicated group of six teachers. At our first meeting, we transformed the library into the Edgewood Museum and we studied artifacts that we have archived in previous years. Each student selected an artifact and topic to study in greater depth. We will then create slides for Eagle Vision, our school television, and for the Historial Society website.

Among the topics to be studied are:


The Edgewood Torch

The Ground Breaking Ceremony of 1999

The Edgewood School Song

The Footprint of the Original Building (1919)

Edgewood's Apple Orchard

Mary Piedalue, Edgewood's First Principal



These slides and a few others should be ready for viewing in early January.
Don't forget to wish us a Happy 91st Anniversary on Tuesday, January 5th!
