Greetings, Laker Families-
While writing this final Laker Anchor for this school year, I have been reflecting on what an honor it has been to serve as the Emerald Hills Elementary Principal for the past 6 years. Thank you for your partnership and support! I will miss being a part of our Laker community but am excited about my new position as the Director of Early Learning. One of my new roles will be serving as the Principal of the Sumner Early Learning Center. If you happen to have (or will have) a younger child at the SELC, I would love to hear from you by email as I make this transition to downtown. 🙂 As we say in our building, “Once a Laker, ALWAYS a Laker!”
Just a few items to keep on the radar as we head into our final, full week of school and wrap up for summer….

Our June Laker Purposefull People Character Trait is “Kindness…The choice to act with words, gifts, or actions to bring appreciation, positivity, and encouragement to ourselves and others.” Your follow up at home reinforcing your child as they demonstrate “kindness” each day would be a wonderful home-school connection. The background for our Laker Purposefull People Character Traits can be accessed through the Character Strong website. Thank you for raising such amazing children that desire to be Purposefull People and for your continued support of our school community.
Have a wonderful summer!
Mrs. Scheerer, Principal
