I believe strong partnerships between home and school help students thrive, and I look forward to working together to make this a successful and memorable year for every child.

Hello! I'm Padrika Edwards, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to join the awesome team at Trip Elementary School as a 4th-grade teacher. Teaching is my superpower, and I’m all about creating a fun, upbeat, and welcoming classroom where every student feels like a superstar.
