Fuel the Flames Fund: Join the EMS Earth Olympics!
Great Community Give and Earth day coincide this year, April 22, 2026. This year’s theme is Fuel the Flames Fund: Join the EMS Earth Olympics!
Join us for EMS Earth Olympics: Celebrating the Best of Us!—a day of friendly competition, camaraderie, and stewardship, highlighting how our students care for each other and the world around them. You can be a champion for a student by supporting the Flames Fund, helping them thrive both in the classroom and on the “field” of life.
Why your support matters
