After reading Balloons Over Broadway, students worked on creating either a Float (grades 3-5) or a Balloon (K-2) for our own version of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. We had some help from amazing parent/grandparent volunteers to make their creations come to life. Mrs. Wright's and Mr. Spader's classes helped to record the floats during their STEAM time later that week. Here is our own version of the Thanksgiving Day Parade. We hope that you enjoy it! https://youtu.be/0fdDJZsWppg

Good evening from Wood County Schools. As we honor the men and women who have served our country, we would like to remind you that schools will be closed tomorrow, November 11th, in observance of Veterans Day.

We would like to remind you that Wood County Schools will be closed tomorrow, Tuesday, November 8th as our school buildings will be used for election day voting centers. Schools will reopen Wednesday morning. We hope you have a nice evening.

In STEAM class the students have been learning about the origin of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Next week we will work to create our own version of the parade. To help us be successful with this we are inviting parent volunteers to come and help us. On Monday and Tuesday, all class will report to the gym where we will have stations set up to create our floats and balloons for our scaled down version of the parade. We will then record their float or balloon in front of the green screen so we have our own parade to share with our families. If you are available to help us on either November 14-15th we would love to have you involved in the project. Please fill out the form below to let us know that you will be there. Thank you for helping us out with this project. https://forms.office.com/r/jQuFb0kTt1

The Book Fair is coming up next week. We will be open Oct 22nd from 4:00-6:00 during Trunk or Treat for parents to shop with their kids. If you would like to set up an eWallet for your child you can do that using the link. The Book Fair is always an exciting time for students. Proceeds from The Book Fair go to purchase materials for our STEAM Room. We would like to thank the parents/grandparents who have volunteered to help with the book fair. Mrs. White has been sending out text messages and will follow up with a phone call if necessary. https://www.scholastic.com/bf/emersonelementaryschool20

Wood County Schools has made a change regarding the caller ID number for all mass calls and texts in which we want you to be aware. Previously, all mass calls made from Wood County Schools, used for emergencies or other important information, whether from the central office or from any individual school, used the number (304) 420-9520 for the caller ID. Starting today, all school mass calls will show a caller ID number that is the same as the school's main telephone number. District calls will continue to show a caller ID of (304) 420-9520. The caller ID number for any individual school may be verified by visiting the school's webpage and finding the phone number in the footer of the page.

Emerson parents- We are accepting candy donations for Saturday's Trunk or Treat. Please send donations to the main office. Thank you.
