Happy Sunday Emerald Hill Eagles! This coming week our SCA will be sponsoring their first spirit day of the year. On Friday, September 27th, we will be having Sports Day. Students can dress up in their favorite sports attire for the day. We are looking forward to seeing our students’ favorite teams. This coming week, we will also be having our next fire drill. Please take a moment to review fire safety with your children. Looking ahead, our library will be hosting our annual book fair October 1st through October 8th. More information from our librarian, Mrs. Hodgson, will be coming home soon. Our amazing bus drivers have asked that I send home some reminders for bus safety. If you have a child that rides the bus to or from school, please help remind them to stay seated while the bus is in motion. Staying seated, facing forward with their feet on the ground will help keep students safer in the event the bus needs to come to a sudden stop. Thank you for helping remind them of ways to keep themselves and others safer while riding the bus. PTO is looking for volunteers. Would you like to volunteer from your home? Are you a skilled graphics designer or have the abilities to update websites? The PTO is looking for two volunteers who would like to make flyers for upcoming events as well as a webmaster. Reach out to Abigail Compton, PTO President at president@ehepto.org to learn more.
