Sedlar’s Snipet Hello Emerson Families~

The good times just keep rolling here at Emerson Elementary! Our first

grade students had the opportunity to do a make-and-take Art project this past

week with Mrs. Bruder and Ms. Haber. Our 4th and 5

th grade students ventured

over to Owosso Middle School to view a Laura Ingalls-Wilder presentation and

our 5th grade students are two-thirds of the way finished with the M-STEP (the

new format of MEAP testing). The Fourth grade students will begin M-STEP test-

ing with a Class Activity on Monday and computer testing on Tuesday and

Thursday of next week. Our 3rd

grade students will begin testing the week of May

18th.

This is a friendly reminder that students that walk to school or get dropped

off in the mornings should not arrive earlier than 8:15 as we do not have supervi-

sion for them. Thank you for your help in ensuring that our students are as safe

as possible prior to start of the school day.

It’s not too late to register a child that is turning 5 by September 1st for

Kindergarten! If you or someone you know still need to register for Fall 2015

Kindergarten, please call any of the three elementary schools to set up a time to

bring the necessary paperwork and the child in to complete that process anytime

between now and the end of the school year.

The Spring Book Fair has come and gone! Thank you to Mrs. Teichman,

Mrs. Bensinger, Ms. Rose and Mrs. Vogl for the enormous efforts in getting

everything set up, making it run smoothly and tearing it all back down in one

weeks’ time! The next Book Fair will be in November during Parent-Teacher

Conferences.

The annual PTO Family Fun Night will be held on Friday, May 15th from

6:00-7:30. There are many items needed for donation. I will have a complete list

next week. I will also have a volunteer sign up as well. Please look right here

next week for more information.

I hope that you have a fun-filled weekend! As always… Go Tigers and GO

TROJANS!!!

Take Care~
