Twelve Edison Students Advance to Nationals

Twelve  students (of the 33 who medaled at the state SkillsUSA competition) are catapulting toward the national competition in June. That's four times the number of students that went to nationals last year! But first they must fundraise the money for the trip.

Amy Johnson, the SkillsUSA lead advisor at Edison, said that the school is still collecting money to send all 12 students to the national competition, which takes place June 23-28, in Kansas City, MO. She said that it will cost over $1,600 per student to make the trip. 

Here are two ways to donate:

1. Write a check to Thomas Edison High School of Technology or (TEHST) and send it to this address: Amy Johnson, Thomas Edison High School of Technology, 12501 Dalewood Drive, Silver Spring, MD 20906.  

2. Use the PayPal account set up on the high school's web site:  http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/schools/edison
