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. 

 


 

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!

🎁 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! 🌟
