EH Rocks...Drug Free!

Look at all of our drug free rock stars! This week was Red Ribbon Week and Emerson Hough celebrated with an all school assembly on Wednesday. Ms. Hall, our fabulous guidance counselor, facilitated the assembly with the help of her 6th grade student council members. From student skits, a puppet show, a teacher skit, and songs, all our students got the message loud and clear - "Emerson Hough ROCKS, drug free!"

Reading Buddies

Several classrooms at Emerson Hough participate in a "buddy" program where older students get to come down and work with the littler ones. Fourth graders in Ms. Turner's room recently got together with their 1st grade buddies from Mrs. Bartels's room to read together. The kids really enjoy getting to read and talk about books together!

2009 McTeacher's Night

We had a fantastic time at McTeacher's Night! It was great to see the kid's faces light up when they saw their favorite teachers working at McDonald's! Thanks to all of you who came out to eat with us. We raised over $525.00! This money will go to our PTA to put towards a new playground. Again, thanks to all of you for your support!

Bowl-a-Thon

Our students have been busy raising money for our PTA "Bowl-a-Thon." Together, they raised almost $1800 towards building a new playground. Any student who participated in fundraising was invited to come bowling today. They had a great time and really showed their Husky Pride!

Writing with Reptiles

Our students got to experience a fantastic assembly yesterday, with David Nieves and his reptiles. David intertwined his love of reptiles and writing in a fun, interactive way that captured everyone's attention! David is a herpetologist from Nebraska who travels all over the world studying reptiles, amphibians, bugs, and just about every creature out there. He not only showed our kids photos from his journeys, but also brought along a turtle, lizard, and snakes. We were all on the edge of our seats when he brought out the 130 pound python! Besides talking about his love of reptiles, he also taught students the importance of writing and how to become better writers. Be sure to ask your child to tell you about what he/she learned from David!

A special THANK YOU goes out to our PTA for providing the funding for this special assembly!
