FRIDAY, MAY 16th 3:30pm to 7:30pm
Although it’s still winter, spring is right around the corner and that means plans for the Spring Fair here at Emerson are in full swing.
It’ll be fun for all with art booths, games, silent auction, opportunity drawings, food, entertainment and more. You won’t want to miss it!
Mark your calendars and tell your friends and family!
If you have any questions or are interested in volunteering at this event, please contact Rebecca Huntley at (818) 846-6062 or at RLHuntley@sbcglobal.net.
…..And speaking of the Spring Fair…..
We need your help collecting 150 paper towel cores for our rainmaker booth. Please save your cores and send them to school. They may be placed in the box in the workroom labeled “Spring Fair” or send them with your child to give to his/her teacher. Thank you for your help!

Dear Emerson Families
For 2008-09, the Governor proposes that the Legislature suspend Proposition 98 (the minimum funding guarantee for schools) and cut $4.4 billion (more than 9%) in education funds. $400 million to 1.4 billion in education funding reductions in the current 2007-08 budget year are being discussed NOW, which may require midyear program shutdowns.
California PTA urges legislators not to cut Proposition 98, the minimum public education funding guarantee for our students. The impact of the cuts proposed in the Governor’s budget would severely harm each and every school. These are the largest cuts ever proposed. Schools have no fat to cut. More than 90% of the school budget is committed to salaries, most of which have already been committed. Cuts this large mean loss of staff, enrichment programs, and as a result larger class sizes.
As a parent, I urge you: please email, write, fax or call your legislator to request preservation of school services and Prop 98. Parents have clout, but only if they speak up! Let the legislator know your home address so they know you are in his district.
Letters are available if you would like to just to sign and send (click on the appropriate name below), or draft your own.
