Message from our PTA Co-Presidents
Dear EMS Community,
It has been a fantastic year at EMS! We welcomed our new Principal, Marc Guarino, and together with our board, parents, volunteers, teachers, and staff, we’ve continued building our nearly 70-year tradition of supporting our children’s education and well-being and fostering a strong EMS community.
Our strategic priority was STUDENT WELLBEING. This year, in collaboration with EMS, we launched "The Amazing Tween Years," a community platform for parents featuring speaker events, discussions, and resources. This initiative aligns with Marc Guarino's student-centric vision for EMS and supports the strategic priorities of both PTAC and GPS.
Thanks to the generous support of our community, EMS students enjoyed diverse enrichment and social activities in art, culture, dance, music, poetry, field trips, traveling exhibits, digital safety and self-motivation speakers, and more to support and complement classroom education.
Please visit our webpage 2023-2024 Year in Review for details.
This year, we spent $96 per student, with an average contribution of $84 per student. Next year, we aim to reach 100% membership and increase our per-student expenditure.
As we all slow down to celebrate our children and their achievements throughout the year and move on to our summer plans, we wanted to thank you—our community of children, parents, teachers, and staff.
We would like to acknowledge all our volunteers, who shared so much of their energy and time developing creative ideas to provide the best experience for all EMS students.
We wish you a fantabulous summer and look forward to seeing all of you at our annual EMS Back to School Family BBQ on September 6th, 2024!
Be well! With Gratitude,
Joanna and Ruchita
PTA Co-Presidents, 2023-2024
