Wednesday Whistle

It's a Great Day to Be an Eagle! Tomorrow is Picture Make Up Day for those who missed Picture Day or if you feel your student needs a retake, please remember to send them with their previous pictures. Also, this Friday, Oct. 25th, is Trunk or Treat. Volunteers are still needed! It's sure to be another great event. More information and volunteer sign-ups can be found in the PTA New linked below. Fifth grade families remember to pack this weekend, and get any last items needed for camp next week.

With respect and admiration,

Dr. Dominguez, Principal

We love seeing you walk your pets to school with your student(s) but we have a few reminders.

• Pets are not allowed on campus in the walkways leading to gates and beyond
• Please do not allow students to pet your pet
• Please clean up after your pet.

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.

If your family is planning a trip to Pa's Pumpkin patch between now and October 31st, save your receipts! This counts towards our School Cents Fundraiser. You can upload the receipts yourself, or drop them off in the office and we can do the work for you. 🎃
