From the Principal

We are his people: the sheep of his flock.

Psalm 100

Hello Everyone!


I hope you are having a great week! It was wonderful to see so many of you at Feastival this past Sunday.


Please use caution during drop off and pick up. The speed limit on Horner and the surrounding side streets is 20 mph. We have received complaints from our neighbors about speeding cars leaving St. Emily School. Please be mindful of the safety of not only our students but also the children in the neighborhood.


We are in need of more volunteers to help with lunch. Parents, grandparents, and/or other family members are asked to help monitor the K-8 students during lunch and recess. Kindergarten-3rd grade is 11:15 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.; 4th-8th grade is 12:10 p.m. to 12:50 p.m. If you would like to help at either or both, please sign up on this link. Thank you in advance!


Head Lunch Monitors are also needed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. There is a small stipend for this position. Please contact Mrs. Bruno for more details.

Have an awesome week!


Ms. Booth
