Good afternoon, this is Mr Hardman Principal at Emerson Elementary School. The track meet for the boys this evening has been postponed. I apologize for the late notice but we just received the information from the league. Both the boys and girls meet will now occur tomorrow starting at 6:00. The meet will take place at PHS.
Thank you and have a great evening.

The Book Fair is just 1 week away. This is a great time to set up your child's ewallet. Not familiar with an ewallet, this is a way for your child to spend money at the book fair without sending cash to school with them. This video will go through the steps to create an ewallet for your student. Mrs. White will print off the list of students who have an ewallet at the start of each morning.
This fair is a BOGO fair so absolutely everything is Buy one get one.

Last week, students had the opportunity to attend Lawrence's Greene's African Hand Drum Presentation. It was sponsored by Artsbridge and allowed students and staff the chance to learn about and play different types of hand drums. Everybody seemed to enjoy it. Thank you Artsbridge for this wonderful opportunity.
