“Failure is success if we learn from it.”
Malcolm Forbes
A Three Way Partnership
We believe that our students will achieve most and be happiest at school when there is a partnership, understanding and communication between home and school. We view this partnership as three-way, involving the school, the parents/guardians and the student. We are confident that when parents express confidence in their school and are involved in it in some way, their children are likely to be happier and perform better in the classroom.
The Edgewood FX will be offering many formal and informal opportunities for parents to become involved and for the school to develop this partnership. We encourage you to become involved in your child's education.
If you would like more information on how you can become involved please fill out this form.
Angel C
This week I had a chance to get to know Miss Angel. Angel is a transfer student from China. She moved from China to Trenton in October 2009. She attended a private boarding school Monday through Friday. It is interesting to hear the differences in our systems. The one thing that impressed me was the fact that they require their students to have three exercise sessions daily. They have some type of planned activities from 6:30 AM to 8:00 PM.
I asked Angel what she missed about China and what was her favorite thing about living in the United States. Her comment was "It's not what I like or dislike, it's about what exists in my reality." I know Angel enough that she is going to make herself happy no matter where she is.
Angel has mastered the art of origami and paper cutting and is now working on beading. It is very rare to see her without headsets in her ears. I have always been curious as to what type of music she listens to and she tells me it's a little bit of Chinese and a little bit of English.
The Edgewood FX is so fortunate to have Angel in our class and her teachers and classmates are all very proud of her and continue to learn from her.
If you would like to leave Angel a little note of encouragement, please click comment below.

Angel is really smart. She is doing really good in Spanish. She will probably be fluent in 3 languages by the end of high school! I bet that Angel will be successful wherever she is at or whatever she is doing:)
