Thomas A. Edison School, located in Port Chester, NY, is a National School of Character and a four-time recipient of the ADL's No Place for Hate Award. With an enrollment of approximately 415 students in grades K through 5, the school offers a rigorous academic program that emphasizes literacy, math, science, and language development through the arts and music. In addition to its strong academic focus, Thomas A. Edison School provides enrichment programming and an after-school program for almost half of its students, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience.
The school recently celebrated the curiosity and problem-solving skills of its fifth-grade students, who applied their understanding of series and parallel circuits to build their own functioning energy circuits that could produce light from light bulbs. This hands-on challenge in Cynthia Chaves' science class not only reinforced the students' knowledge of circuits but also instilled in them a deeper appreciation for the practical applications of the concepts they've been learning. Through activities like these, Thomas A. Edison School aims to spark curiosity, instill confidence, and develop a lifelong interest in exploring and understanding the world around them.
