K - 8 Football Clinic at Edison

The first Edison Tommie Football Clinic was a success. Thirty-six K - 8th grade kids attended on a hot afternoon, ready to learn some football skills and have a good time with Edison Football coaches and players. The clinic started with the players leading a stretch and agility run. The kids then got to take a water break just like the Edison players. Some of the kids were too short and Edison players had to lift them at the watering trough.

After the water break, the young athletes moved through six skill stations that focused on the various aspects of football. After the skills work, the kids played flag football games, with three different games taking place at once. The last ten minutes of the clinic concluded with hot dogs and chips for the kids, staff, and parents. Each person attending the clinic received an Edison Football T-Shirt. The clinic was a huge success, and we look forward to doubling our numbers next year.

Thank You!

The Waite Park PTA would like to thank the Northeast community for all the time, money and products you donated this year to Waite Park Community School. We had a year filled with wonderful events and successful fundraisers, and the community’s involvement was incredibly appreciated. We are fortunate to live in a place that cares for our children and our schools. Numerous businesses and churches have contributed both financially, and with volunteer time (far too many to name here but listed at http://waiteparkpta.blogspot.com); this support has provided our students and families with many enrichment and community-building opportunities.

In addition to the strong support by local businesses, we owe a big thank you to our school neighbors in NE; Northeast Middle School and Edison High School provided stellar students to support our events. For example, the Edison Football team came to our Family Reading Night. Northeast Middle School provided volunteers at our track and field day at the Dome – not a small event! The Edison sport teams and Northeast Middle School hosted several games at our carnival. These volunteers were essential to running our events and also provided wonderful role models to our younger children.

Thank you to the Northeast Community and we look forward to another fantastic year next fall!
