Furnishing the Gathering Space (our family room!)

Our elementary school is thriving in our beautiful home. And yet, we're eager for a "family room," a space large enough for the whole school community to come together. The Gathering Space -- an indoor/outdoor learning facility -- will fill that need.

Gathering is the “heart” of EMES. Coming together is key to our curriculum and school philosophy. It nurtures cross-grade relationships, builds trust, creates leadership opportunities, and enables us to care for one another.

Color Run funds raised will help:

  • Furnish the gathering space, creating a welcoming environment for students, teachers, and families alike.
  • Stock the serving kitchen with essential items to facilitate gatherings and events and a favorite time to gather for students….lunch!
  • Purchase outdoor patio furniture to expand our outdoor dining and play areas, providing more opportunities for outdoor learning and recreation.
