Good afternoon Emerson families,
Our monthly House Party will be this Friday. We will be hosting a community health fair for our students. Please make sure your child wears their House Shirts. Thanks and have a wonderful evening.
Thank you everyone who tried out for track- unfortunately we had almost 100 students tryout so there had to be cuts. The list of who made the team is posted on the front door of Emerson.
Emerson families- don't forget that we have food and hygiene items available in our outdoor pantry. Feel free to take what you may need. You may also use our box to share non-perishable food and hygiene products with others.
