Dear parents,

1. Those of you who will have 6th grade students at EMS this fall, we would like to welcome you to the EMS-PTSO! We will be holding a Meet & Greet on Wednesday, May 15 at 6:30pm. We will briefly discuss our goals and visions for the 2024-2025 school year while enjoying light refreshments. We ask that you please RSVP here.

We look forward to meeting you all!

2. If you are interested in serving on the EMS-PTSO Executive board, please email us for details by April 30. Starting in June, we will have 2 open positions and are looking for enthusiastic people with fresh ideas!

Our school received a limited number of sunflower packs for this competition. If you would like one, please fill out THIS form, as soon as possible, and we will send them home. If they are gone before you can any, you can pick them up from from City Hall if you'd like to participate.

Anyone can be a member of our PTO! Join a meeting or help volunteer at an event. Keep up with us on Facebook and join the mailing list to stay in the know. We are always looking for new people to get involved and help make our school the best place it can be for our students!

We have a variety of upcoming events where volunteers are needed. We appreciate your time and help in putting these things on for our school. Please sign up if you can assist!

Pickup for our spring flower fundraiser is on May 8th and we could really use some extra hands in the morning and after school. Kids are welcome to come with you and help! We need help unloading the carts of flowers from the truck, organizing orders and handing out orders when families arrive after school. If you can assist in any way, please sign up below.

• Mrs. Diana Warner, President
• Mrs. Erika Haqqi, Vice President
• Mrs. Marcia Gamiere, Secretary
• Mrs. Jessica Caswell, Treasurer

In March we were focusing on the "I" in our PRIDE Promise which is "Integrity". Students who exemplified these characteristics were invited to a Party with the Principals at the beginning of April. We had snacks, drinks, music, and games to recognize these students.

In April we were looking for students who were "Dedicated" and showed "Excellence" to be invited to our next party this week.

Congratulations to the following students:

• Kindergarten: Lincoln Reynolds, Sofia Scalese, Jeremy Tiederman
• 1st Grade: Kase Parker, Tristan Thomas, Charli Rosin, Carter Johnson, Zayden Hardman
• 2nd Grade: Lexi Maurer, Aerionna Harris, Greyson Vahcic, Sophia Torres

• 4th Grade: Thea Starcovic, Lauren Panzarella, Layan Hussain, Millie Sheltraw
• 5th Grade: Sebastian Kostelnik, McKenna Lehtonen, Ella Luzier

Students are nominated by our staff members for showing PRIDE and kindness. Keep up the great work!

If you believe your child is experiencing challenges in terms of their mental well-being, it is important to reach out to your principal. To meet your child’s needs, it’s essential to collaborate with the principal and school personnel to explore resources and services available at school. In addition to Crossroads Counselors, the District also has family liaisons and guidance counselors who can provide needed interventions and support.
