Many students here at Edison High School have a variety of plans for this summer but here are some goals that students here have in mind: 

What do you plan on doing this summer? 

Maria Lara (Junior): “I plan on spending as much time as I can with my family and traveling. I’d love to go to whatever beaches I can and go out of town. But mostly being able to hang out with friends and family in any way is going to be the highlight of my summer.”  

What is the one summer activity you really want to do?  

Landon Emler (Junior): “I want to go swimming. Ever since it started to get hotter and hotter, I have wanted to go swimming, but I never really had time, but now that summer is coming that gives me the opportunity to invite some friends over to swim and to have a good time.”  

Any goals for the summer? 

Franscico Reyes (Junior): “To practice my skills in soccer, I will have so much more time to be able to be at the park and practice. That’s my main goal right now but I also want to get my driver’s license during the summer since right now I only have my permit.”
