Smiles, laughter, and learning — just another day of fun in Mr. Lewis' class!📚✨#WeAreHoquiamSD

The first day of Kindergarten is in the books! Families at Emerson were invited to stop by the playground with their students before school for fun and photo ops! 📸🛝🧸 #WeAreHoquiamSD

The first few days of school have brought out some big smiles! 🤩📚🍎✏️ #WeAreHoquiamSD

Together we make our community stronger—thank you for showing up and shining bright! 🌟 Our Back-to-School Bash was nothing short of amazing, thanks in huge part to many supporters and vendors. 👏📚🍎✏️ #WeAreHoquiamSD

“Boots for Bears” was representing Emerson Elementary at the Hoquiam School District back-to-school bash. 🐻🤩🥾 Boots for Bears is a nonprofit that supports Hoquiam students with both the essential and the “extra" supplies that otherwise families and students would go without. We are truly blessed to have this group going the extra mile for our kids! 🙌 #WeAreHoquiamSD

Our school secretaries and support staff met this week as a team to get ready for the upcoming year! 🤗📚🍎✏️ They are back in their offices and ready to help parents and students with any questions as they gear up for the new school year. 🙌 #WeAreHoquiamSD

Sarge’s Basketball Camp was a slam dunk! 🏀
Over the past couple of days, the kids had a blast learning new skills, making friends, and building confidence on the court.

🏀 CJ Elleby Family Foundation Grizzly Skills Camp 🐻
What an incredible day of hoops, hustle, and heart!
Over 200 youth from 1st to 8th grade showed up and showed out at the Grizzly Skills Camp, hosted by the CJ Elleby Family Foundation.
From ball-handling to teamwork drills, it was a full day of skill-building, encouragement, and fun — all led by amazing coaches and mentors.
Huge thanks to CJ Elleby and everyone who made this event possible! 🙌

📸 Many of our Life Skills parents showed up to capture special moments during our family photo sessions! This heartfelt idea came straight from the entire teaching staff as they brainstormed meaningful end-of-year gifts — and it turned into a beautiful way to celebrate the growth, connection, and joy of the school year. ❤️ #WeAreHoquiamSD
