About six years ago, Coach Jessie Monreal started a special tradition at the end of the school year when his football players provided a sit-down lunch for the Edison teachers and staff. The players would seat the teachers, take their orders, and wait on them during their meal. It was a simple gesture, but one filled with gratitude and respect.
A few years later, the Golden Bears boys and girls athletic programs came together and continued that tradition by providing a meal for the teachers and staff during Teacher Appreciation Week. It gives our athletes the opportunity to give back in a small but meaningful way to the teachers who have given so much of themselves to their students.
Thank you to Mike Padilla, Class of 1989 alumni, for buying and cooking the delicious pulled pork that helped make the sandwiches for today’s Teacher Appreciation Luncheon. Your generosity and support helped make this event special for our teachers and staff, and we are truly grateful for your continued dedication to Edison High School and the Golden Bear family.
It has become one of my favorite days of the school year—to see our teachers relax, be treated kindly and with respect, and for our athletes to have the chance to simply say thank you. It serves as a reminder that what we do is bigger than sports—it is about service, appreciation, and building a stronger school community.
We LOVE our TEACHERS 💛🖤🐻🫶🏽
HAPPY TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK!
