Staff Appreciation Lunch Fundraiser 

The EMHS Parent Council looks forward to hosting a Staff Appreciation Lunch on May 16, an opportunity to thank the teachers and support staff for all their hard work educating our kiddos throughout the year.  
Thanks to the generosity of our families, we have reached 69% of our goal. Let’s keep the momentum going and show our appreciation for the teachers. Every amount helps.
