KICKIN' IT FOR KIDS -- HUGE SUCCESS!!

Thanks to each and every person who attended the event, purchased a ticket, participated in the live and silent auctions, donated an item to a classroom basket, volunteered their time, and continues to support Emerson Academy! The Kickin' It For Kids Gala was a tremendous success. Not only did we reach our fund-raising goal of 10K, we exceeded our goal by almost seven thousand dollars!!! The funds raised at this year's event will be used directly to benefit Emerson Academy students.

Busy Starfish Hands

The Starfish class has come up with a very creative and beautiful way to smudge the windows. The kids dipped their hands in paint, finger painted on paper, then used the window to get rid of the extra paint. The result was stunning! If you have a chance, stroll by the classroom windows and admire the Starfish art. Kudos to Ms. Cheyenne for such a fun and "hands on" activity!
