A Full-Service School Fulfills Its Promise
By Eileen Santiago, JoAnne Ferrara and Marty Blank, on behalf of Thomas Edison Elementary School, Port Chester, NY

"Through 10 years of growing into a full-service community school, Edison has had some insights. A key feature of our design is the fact that community-based partners provide services right on the school site and cultivate interagency cooperation. Reshaping ourselves as a community school has enabled our faculty to focus more on teaching and learning, has given families direct access to resources that improve their lives, and has expanded our partners' ability to reach children and families. We are now educating the whole child at Edison."
