Another big event sponsored by the Parent Association is the Scholastic Book Fair, which is enjoyed by students, faculty, and the community.   Last year the Book Fair was held March 16th through March 19th.  Profits from this event are put toward books for the school and other programs to benefit our children. Click here for more on the Book Fair.
The Box Tops for Education program provides a way to assist in raising useful funds for student needs.     Mr. Ron Burke, Elementary Principal is coordinator for this program for Edwards-Knox.   We receive $0.10 for each box top coupon from participating products.  You can find Box Tops for Education on 100's of products.  Click here for more information on this program on how funds can be obtained at the Box Tops for Education Website.
If you feel these programs are important and would like to see them continue in our school, parent participation is essential.   If there is an area you would like to volunteer for or need more information you may contact the association President, Abbie Tresidder at 562-3457 or call the elementary office.
