Wednesday Whistle

As the year winds down, we want to take a moment to thank you for all the hard work, kindness, and support that make our school such a special place. We wish you a joyful and restful winter break filled with warmth, laughter, and cherished moments with loved ones. May this holiday season bring you peace and rejuvenation as we look forward to an exciting new year ahead! Additionally, as a reminder, Friday is a MINIMUM DAY (dismissal at 2:00pm). THERE IS NO PLAYGROUND SUPERVISION AFTER SCHOOL ON FRIDAY.

Happy Holidays and best wishes!

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.

Click the flyer below to see opportunities for 5x points!

Double points for ALL receipts being turned in between Nov. 16 through Jan. 15, and 5x points for the retailers detailed below at each of the named stores on the flyer.

Getting pictures taken with Santa? Buy a photo and earn 5x the points for Emerson. Want to donate toys? You can go to the Los Cerritos Center on Dec. 6 to donate, or to the Lakewood Center on Dec. 13th to donate (see below for details). Additionally, any receipts showing a donation of $10 or more to Project Shepard will earn Emerson an extra 1000 points per person, per center.

Receipts can be brought to the office, or uploaded on your own - whichever is easiest! 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 19th place in the contest, but you can help us move back to the top 10 this Holiday season! Let us know if there are any questions.

Thank you in advance for all of your support!
