On Wednesday, Nov. 18, Thomas Edison EnergySmart Charter School (TEECS) in the Somerset section of Franklin Township celebrated student academic achievement by continuing with its tradition of quarterly awards ceremonies. All students who achieved honor roll and high honor roll were recognized virtually as well as the Kindergarten students who all received Citizenship Awards. Although this ceremony had to be virtual for everyone’s safety, TEECS was not going to miss an opportunity to recognize their students’ hard work.

Also: On Tuesday, Nov. 17, TEESCS participated in the FTC robotics “Skills Competition-Ring Challenge.” While enforcing social distancing and wearing masks, the school continues to run its robotics team to keep up with and build skills. Although we are going through an unprecedented time, TEESCS is still maintaining a high standard in robotics, earning second place in its first competition this year.

Also: Thomas Edison EnergySmart Charter School was able to donate a large amount of boxed and canned foods to the Franklin Food Bank for the holidays.
