SEPTEMBER ALL SCHOOL MEETING
Just in case you missed the September All School Meeting earlier this month, here’s the video produced by Mr. Phil: https://youtu.be/pt59LAHryyc
The video starts with a message to students from Ms. Holmes with a reminder of the “6 Be’s”: Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe, Be an Ally, Be a Scholar, Be Brave. Also in the video: an introduction to this year’s Spirit Committee, individual classroom and PE Shout Outs, a Shout Out to the brand new TK class, a call to audition for student performances, and calendar highlights from Ms. Davis - all MC’d by Ms. Salyk!
Ms. Jeannie giving a Shout Out to the entire TK class!

ART CORNER WITH MS. AMES
PAINT BRUSH SKILLS
Kindergarteners drew all kinds of lines and practiced paint brush skills by painting with water on top of their marker lines. We learned that Mr. Paintbrush does not like it when we mess up his hair style!
PTA ANNOUNCEMENTS
WHERE’S WALDO SCHOOL DIRECTORY
The “Where’s Waldo” secure online directory is a great parent resource to connect with other Emerson families. We’re hoping to have 100% participation this year. Contact information request forms will be going home in your child’s Look Folders this week, but you can also simply fill out your information online at:
emersonberkeleypta.membershiptoolkit.com
ONE MORE BEARFACTS EDITOR NEEDED
One final plea: we need just one more volunteer to help put together the BearFacts newsletter. No experience necessary, and all work can be done from home. Time commitment is about 2-3 hours once every 6 weeks.
Interested? Please contact Carol (carol.wang@emersonelementary.org) to learn more.
