Edgecomb Eddy School

The Edgecomb Historical Society will be having a meeting next week and would love as many interested Edgecomb and area residents to share in the discussion. The Historical Society is a wonderful learning tool for children and families. The following is a message from EHS: "We strongly encourage all past and present members of The Edgecomb Historical Society area residents and friends of Edgecomb history to attend a very important meeting to discuss the future of the EHS at Town Hall on Thursday, October 14th, at 7:00 p.m. Since the future of The EHS is in jeopardy, we would welcome input from all attendees."

EES Families, please check your email for an updated version of our school calendar. This update includes a change for student days in NOVEMBER. Thank you! This will also be updated on the school website.
