Walkathon
and Bookfair 2004
|
Thanks to all the parents who volunteered, and all the
people who came out to help make our Walkathon a lot of
fun. We had a great turnout with 140 walkers on a perfect
autumn morning. There was delicious BBQ, a bagel and bake
sale and plenty of cold drinks. Many thanks to Sidney Spence
for organizing this big and successful event, to Monica
Santos and her mentors and to David Walton.
Bookfair
sets a new record in book sales!
Emerson teachers will receive bundles of books thanks to lots
of support for the Walkathon Bookfair! Thanks to all the
families, teachers, and friends who shopped. Many people generously
bought books as gifts for teachers’ classroom collections
from teachers’ wishlist of desired titles. We sold more
books than ever before – our teachers will now receive
$1,800 in free book credits from Scholastic.
Thanks to organizer Tish Brewster and to Sarah
Bade, Carolyn Capps, Ayana Chapman, Sara Grunstein, Grace
Kang, and Tim Melton for volunteering in advance and working
extra-long shifts because we were so busy. Lots of gratitude
to Rafael Friedmann and many others who jumped in to help
with set-up, take-down and other assorted jobs. And of course
Mr. Lou without whom we could never run a bookfair. It was
a busy booth and we needed the dedicated crew that pitched
in. THANK YOU!
