This year we are excited to announce that Emerson will be participating in the School Cents fundraiser. We have an opportunity to raise money by shopping at any of the following shopping Centers through April 30th - Lakewood Mall, Los Cerritos Mall, and Stonewood Center. The only thing we need from families is your receipts uploaded to their website from any participating stores it those centers. They can either be dropped off at the school for us to upload, they can be emailed to Emerson directly (a link will be provided before Friday), or they can be uploaded by the person making the purchase. Friends, family, co-workers, neighbors, and anyone else who you'd like to invite can participate.

Click the flyer below to see opportunities for 3x points!

During the month of February, our school can earn 3x points for the retailers detailed below at each of the named stores on the flyer.

If you attend the Cerritos Festival of Friendship on February 1st, and sign in at the state near Forever 21, our school can earn 2,500 points per person - JUST FOR ATTENDING! If you, or someone you know, will be signing up to participate in the Lakewood Run happening on March 1st, our site can earn 2,500 bonus points for each person registered if you submit the receipt before March 1st. Donating blood? Ask to scan the QR code for School Cents, and our site can also earn 2,500 bonus points for each person donating.

Receipts can be brought to the office, or uploaded on your own - whichever is easiest! A drop box has been placed on the front counter, and a mailbox has now been added next to the Main Office door in the hallway to make dropping off receipts even easier.

We've moved down to 22nd place in the contest, but you can help us move back to the top 10 before the contest ends! Let us know if there are any questions. Don't wait, upload your receipts today, or turn them into the office and we can do it for you.

Thank you in advance for all of your support!
