WEEKLY NOTES FROM THE DESK OF MRS. ESPINOZA WEEK OF NOVEMBER 2, 2026
Greetings Villano Families,
I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween weekend and enjoyed the extra hour of sleep Daylight Saving Time afforded. We are kicking off November with a short school week, and teacher conferences will be here before we know it.
Congratulations to our Student Congress members who ran for officer positions on Friday. They all represented themselves well at Friday's Town Hall Meeting. We will share the election results with everyone on Monday afternoon. Thank you to all of our "O" Show speakers and performers. Everyone enjoys our monthly "O" Shows. We are already planning for a great show in November. DON'T MISS THIS POWERFUL EVENT
The Emerson Community Alliance is partnering with us to present a screening of the film "Screenagers" for parents and students. See the flyer below for more information and to register.
There are three choices daily: a hot meal, a selection of cold sandwiches, or a bagel/yogurt bag. Students must have money in their accounts to purchase a meal. Information on how to add money to your child's lunch account can be found HERE.
The monthly menu will be posted on the school website and shared in my weekly emails.
