Good afternoon 5th Grade parents. The Edgewood PTO is busy planning a mixer for all incoming 6th graders and would like to take this opportunity to extend a formal invitation and provide you with details pertinent to the event. Everything you need to know is outlined below.

Mixer Logistics

The mixer will take place on Wednesday, May 27 from 4:00pm to 5:30pm in the Edgewood lunchroom and gymnasiums. This is a drop off event and all EW incoming 6th graders are invited. A DJ will be present and refreshments will be served. To help us gauge attendance and enable us to create an emergency contact list we are asking parents to submit an RSVP here: 5th Grade Mixer RSVP

Drop Off | Pick Up

We are asking parents to use the school's front drive for drop off and pick up. When arriving, please pull as far forward as possible and a parent volunteer will assist your student out of the car and guide them to the school's gymnasium entrance. Similarly, for pick up, we hope parents will pull as far forward into the drive as volunteers assist with loading students for departure.

Spirit Wear

The Edgewood Spirit Wear Committee has put together a mini Spirit Wear sale for students attending the mixer. Items purchased through this sale will be available for pick up at the event. Proceeds support the Edgewood PTO. Deadline to order is Sunday, April 26th. You can place your Spirit Wear order here:Spirit Wear

Please note: Spirit Wear items will not be available to purchase at the mixer. All sales are pre-ordered through the link above. 

No Phones

In an attempt to get students to engage with their peers and not with their screens, we are asking parents to keep all phones at home. We hope this will also alleviate any concern that unwanted videos might make their way onto social media. Students with phones at the mixer will be asked to check their device with a volunteer to be kept securely until the end of the event.

Volunteer

We will need approximately 20 volunteers to help manage the event and hope you consider giving a bit of your time. Volunteers will be expected to arrive at the school at 3:30pm and stay until clean up is complete around 5:45pm. A link to volunteer can be found here: 5th Grade Mixer Volunteer

We are very excited to be hosting this event and hope your student will want to take part. Questions pertaining to the mixer can be directed to edgewoodpto112@gmail.com. Thanks for your support and we look forward to "mixing" with your students at the end of May.
