5th graders at Edison Elementary combined learning with leadership by integrating their economics unit into their annual Famous Cookie Sale. 

Students explored real-world concepts like budgeting, marketing, and decision-making, all while having fun and working together. We’re so proud of their hard work and entrepreneurial spirit!

Excel TECC's Teacher Education and Children's Health (T.E.A.C.H.) Program in Action at Edison

Everly is preparing for her future in one of the best ways possible - by getting practical teaching experience at Edison Elementary! As part of Excel TECC’s Teacher Education and Children’s Health (T.E.A.C.H.) internship program, she is exhibiting her passion for working with children, gaining hands-on experience, and getting deeper insights into working with children. Her cooperating teacher, Mrs. Wagner, says that Everly has been amazing with the students and is setting the stage for a successful career in education if she chooses to stay on that path.

Everly requested Mrs. Wagner because her experience in her classroom as her student was very memorable. Another fun fact, Everly's grandmother shared that Mrs. Wagner was her favorite student years ago!

Keeping our Shared Vision and Promises alive by creating engaging experiences and investing in the future of our students - that's the Willoughby-Eastlake Advantage!

 

Making Waves in History!

We’re so proud to celebrate Edison teacher Christine Bittner who just became the first swimmer to be inducted into the Eastlake North High School Hall of Fame! 👏🧡🖤

From record-breaking laps in the pool to inspiring students in the classroom, she continues to lead by example, showing what dedication, determination, and Ranger pride looks like! 

"Although I have spent a lifetime in this district and I teach little Rebels, I will forever say, 'Go Rangers!'”

Congratulations on this incredible honor! 

 

Community Service

Edison was proud to partner with the Lake County Council on Aging on a very special project - Pet Meals on Wheels Food, Toys and Treat Drive. Many Lake County senior citizens who receive Meals on Wheels also have pets. Meals on Wheels provides food for the seniors and added a special component where they also deliver food for their pets. Pets are great companions for senior citizens and being able to support them was heartwarming for our staff and students. Being empathetic is one of our core competencies and our students are so compassionate!

STEAM Classes

Have you ever wondered how bridges are built, why rockets launch into space, or how video games are created? Our elementary students are diving headfirst into these exciting questions and more through our STEAM program!

STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. By integrating these subjects, we are fostering a new generation of creative thinkers and problem-solvers.

What is happening in our makerspaces?

  • Building and Designing: Constructing structures, coding robots, creating art and making 3D models
  • Experimenting and Innovating: Conducting science experiments, testing engineering designs, and exploring artistic techniques
  • Collaborating and Communicating: Working together to solve challenges and present their ideas

Our students are so excited about STEAM! This is one of the encore classes children experience along with physical education and music.
