Good morning Emerson parents, Nurse Fran would like to remind families that, as the weather gets colder, it is important to make sure our students are dressed appropriately for school. Classroom temperatures can vary so carrying a jacket or hoodie may benefit students in addition to their coats. We have received a donation of winter coats.

🎈 Balloons Over Broadway Project 🎈 Last week our kindergarten through second-grade students completed an exciting project during STEAM class,. After reading Balloons Over Broadway, the true story of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and the inventor of its iconic balloons, our students got creative making their very own parade floats and balloons! 🦸‍♀️🎨🛠️ This marks our 4th year doing this project, and it’s always a favorite among our young learners. The smiles and excitement as they saw their creations come to life were priceless. We have linked the 3 Videos below for you to enjoy. Happy Thanksgiving!
