Fundraising
Box Tops for Education
Started in 1966, this program has helped schools receive funding for various activities, fieldtrips, and needed supplies. Please remember to save your Box Tops and receipts and send them to school with your child.
Club Choice
Please support our school by participating in our annual school-wide fundraiser. Students earn prizes and money towards our school with each sale.
School Governance Council
Be a voice in your child’s school and participate in the School Governance Council meetings which are held on the third Monday of every month from 5pm to 6pm. A light meal is provided and children are welcome.
Under Administrative Policy 9.11, the purpose of a school governance council is to provide a forum for parents, teachers, community members, students, and principals to work together in providing continued analysis and improvement of public school policies, curriculum, educational plan goals, and general students’ well-being. The School Governance Council must be established through school-wide elections and they have very specific membership requirements. Teachers, staff, and parents must be elected to the council. Parents should make up 51% of the council.
To volunteer at Emerson or join our Governance Council, please contact Parent Coordinator Sally Yeldell at (414) 393-4309.
