Get Ready for the EMS Book Fair!

🗓 November 10–14 | EMS Media Center

The EMS Book Fair is rolling into town—and it's going to be epic.

Shop for your favorite books, and feel good doing it! 20% of every purchase goes straight back to our Media Center to help grow our library. Plus, every student who buys a book gets entered into a raffle—with TWO lucky winners per grade!

Sneaky parent tip: the Book Fair is a great way to see our kids in action, so please sign up to volunteer and help make this the best book fair yet!

Wrap up the Holidays & Give Back!

Support the DC Trip Scholarship Fund

’Tis the season to wrap, give, and make a difference! Shop our Charleston Wrap Store for festive gift wrap and personalized gifts that bring joy—all shipped directly to your home.

Every purchase helps fund the GPS 8th Grade D.C. Trip Scholarship, giving 85 students-in-need the chance to experience this unforgettable trip. A meaningful portion of each order goes straight to the cause, so spread the word to family, friends, and neighbors!

Shop by 11/28—and wrap up the holidays with heart!

Veterans Day Program

Call for Participants

On November 11 in honor of Veterans Day, we are calling on Veterans to share their story with EMS Students in a classroom setting and answer questions.

Please contact John O'Neill (community@emspta.org) if you are interested in sharing your valuable experience on November 11 in either the morning or afternoon.

Come On Board!

Hey, 8th Grade Parents! 🎉

We’re looking for two awesome 8th Grade Co-Chairs to help plan the 8th Grade Gaga Party this winter—a fan favorite featuring a DJ, Gaga Pit, and Garden Catering. It’s easy to plan, tons of fun, and guaranteed to be a hit again this year! We'd hate for the kids to miss out on such a fun event; please volunteer so we can make the party happen!

🎁 Calling all appreciation enthusiasts!

The Teacher Appreciation Committee needs a few fun, festive parent volunteers to be Co- Chairs to help spoil our amazing teachers - once in December (holiday cheer edition!) and again in the Spring for Teacher Appreciation Week. If spreading joy and gratitude is your thing, this gig’s for you! 🌟

🌟 Got a little more breathing room now that school’s in full swing?

We’re still looking for the right person to step into the VP of Community (2-year term) role—partner included! If you love supporting teachers, and strengthening our school community, this is your moment to shine. ✨ For more information, email secretary@emspta.org.
