Happy Sunday Emerald Hill Eagles! We would like to give a huge thank you to all of our families for supporting the PTO’s Fun Run! We had such a fun time on Friday! Last year Emerald Hill started a collaboration project with NexTrex. We are still collecting plastic bags in hopes to collect enough plastic bags that NexTrex will donate a plastic bench to us made from the bags we collect. The collection box is in the main lobby for plastic bags. We will be collecting bags for a few more months. Thank you for your support on this project. This coming week is Transportation Appreciation Week. If your child rides a bus to or from school, please help us thank our amazing bus drivers for all they do to ensure our children get to and from school safely! This Friday we are teaming up with CCHS again to host an EHE tailgate for students and families at their home football game on October 25th. The tailgate will be from 6-8pm and the Blue Devils will reserve a spot on the inside of the track for us to set up! The game starts at 7pm. Every student that attends will receive a free sports-related book and a free candy bar from the concession stand. Tickets for the game are $8 at the gate. We look forward to seeing many of our families there! Looking ahead, we will be having a spirit week October 28th-November 1st for Red Ribbon Week. The spirit days will be: October 28th - Wear Red October 29th - Neon vs. Sunglasses Day October 30th - Backwards vs. Inside Out Day October 31st - Costume Day (Costumes may not include masks or props and students must be able to participate in normal classroom activities while wearing their costumes) November 1st - Pajama Day Tomorrow is a day 2 in our resource rotation.
