A Message from the Principal
I hope you enjoyed Thanksgiving. I was thankful for the time to get much needed rest, but most of all spending time with loved ones. Our character trait for the month of December is Confident. Each day our students become more confident in their learning, and who they are as awesome Emerson Eagles. December is a month filled with holidays and traditions. Many of our younger Eagles might enjoy: Blippi and the Holiday Snow Globe Movie. The video teaches about Christmas, Kwanzaa, and Hanukkah, and features Long Beach educator, Baba the Storyteller. Whether your family celebrates a December holiday or not, I wish you all a joyful and peaceful month as we look forward to Winter Break in a few weeks.
With respect and admiration,
Mrs. Dominguez, Principal
