Good afternoon Emerson Families!
It has been a great week here at Emerson! Our students had a blast watching the Solar Eclipse on Monday, and I know the staff and I thoroughly enjoyed experiencing it with them! My favorite things overheard during the eclipse were students counting down to 2:07 and then yelling, "Happy New Year!" We also heard that the eclipse looked like a "radioactive banana," but best of all was hearing our older students helping younger students with their glasses, answering their questions, and just having a great time bonding over the special experience with peers and staff. It is one of my favorite memories of the year.
Safety reminder: please prioritize the safety of our Emerson students by driving cautiously in the Drop and Go lot at Mary Queen. Refrain from using cell phones while driving on school premises, as distractions can lead to accidents. Please follow designated pick up procedures and set a good example for our children. If other adults and/or older siblings pick up your child, please share this safety reminder. Maintaining a safe environment is crucial, and we appreciate your cooperation.
We are also working on adding student artwork throughout the building this summer. If your child has any artwork they'd like to donate, or if they'd like to create an drawing, painting, mixed media, etc. of an eagle, we would love to display it our halls! Any work should be submitted by the end of the school year.
As I shared in last week's newsletter, we are hard at work planning for the 2024-25 school year. If you would like to share information that your current child's classroom teacher should know as they plan for class placement, please email them by April 22nd.
Thank you and have a fantastic weekend!
