PTA General Membership Meeting Recap

Thank you to everyone that came to the first PTA General Meeting of the 2025-26 school year. We hope you found it helpful and informative as to what the PTA does to support the school. If you were unable to attend, we encourage you to review the presentation slides.

Express Gratitude for EMS Staff

During the Holiday Season

Students can write thank you notes to their teachers and any staff members or try this “Teacher Libs”, inspired by the classic Mad Libs we all love! Students can place their notes in the basket in the main office by Friday, November 21.

We are looking for donations of coffee pods, hot chocolate, and tea bags for the staff lounge to help replenish the supplies and keep everyone refreshed and energized throughout the season. Drop off at EMS by Tuesday, November 25. Please sign up here.
