Hello Emerson Families~
A true sign of Spring is Emerson’s Family Fun Night which is TONIGHT!!! The
doors will open at 6:00 to allow families to purchase pizza, popcorn and water. The games
will begin around 6:30 and continue until 7:30. The raffles will take place around 7:25.
This event is FREE and for current Emerson families only and students will bring a wrist-
band home that will need to be worn to allow them entrance to the event. Please note that
while all of the activities are at no cost, the pizza, popcorn, cotton candy and water will be
available for a small charge. There will be gift baskets and a bike that will be raffled off in
the later part of the evening. The raffle tickets will be available for purchase from Emerson
Staff members during the evening. I look forward to seeing you tonight!
The warm temperatures are making students antsy to wear summer clothes! I
would like to put a friendly reminder out about appropriate clothing for school. Students are
able to wear shorts that are at an appropriate length. Shorts should be below the finger
tips when arms are at the side of the child. Shoulders, backs and stomachs should be fully
covered (i.e. no spaghetti straps and tank tops are not encouraged) also low cut shirts
should not be worn unless there is something underneath. Flip-flops are not an appropriate
shoe for school due to the lack of support and protection to the feet. Thank you for your
cooperation in making the learning environment as free from distraction and as safe as
possible.
Our 3rd grade students will begin M-STEP testing next week. They will be testing on
Monday, May 18, Tuesday, May 19 and Wednesday, May 20 in the area of English-
Language Arts. They will complete the Math portion on Tuesday, May 26, Wednesday,
May 27 and Thursday, May 28. The M-STEP is the replacement test of the MEAP. We
hope to have results by early Fall.
Just a reminder to our families that the Kindergarten students will be heading out to
Reed Dairy Farm on Tuesday, May 19. The 5th grade students from all elementary
schools will have their annual Field Meet on Wednesday, May 20 at the OHS track. Parent
volunteers are needed for the Field Meet. Please contact the office if you are available to
help out. The 5th grade Band students will also put on a marching parade on Wednesday,
May 27 at 2:00 for the school and parents to view. The parade will start on Oliver Street in
front of Emerson and turn north on Dewey Street and stop in front of the playground.
I hope that you all have a fantastic weekend! Enjoy the sunshine!
As always…Go Tigers and GO TROJANS!!!
Take Care~

Student Safety
With the welcoming of
warm weather also comes
the possibility of severe
weather. In the case of a
tornado watch, school will go on as
scheduled. If a tornado warning is is-
sued, students will be directed to
their predetermined safety zone and
remain there until the all clear is
given. Tornado and fire drills are
practiced by each class throughout the
year.
Old Markers Wanted!
Mrs. Burns’ 1st grade
class is collecting mark-
ers to be used in the
Crayola ColorCycle
program. This poem
was created by the class to help
remind us what to do!
Our planet Earth needs help from you.
Listen carefully for what to do:
When you have dried out markers from
home or school,
Bring them to a first grade class.
We will recycle them to make fuel!
Send in any brand marker, highlighter
or dry erase marker to help the class
with their Earth friendly project!
See their class picture online!
Popcorn/Pickle
Sale
The last popcorn/
pickle sale of the school year
will take place next Friday,
May 22. The PTO will donate
half the sales to the Owosso
Parks and Recreation
department.
Alison Nitz, a 3rd
grade student in Mrs.
Ellis’ class, recently
donated her hair to
Wigs for Kids. This
organization custom
makes and donates wigs
to children who have
suffered hair loss. The
wigs are valued at $1,800 and will withstand any
childhood activity! Nice job Alison!
