Emerson's New Look
Emerson can offically see! Hooray!
She got her first pair of glasses today (pink, of course). She is actually wearing them more than I thought. Hopefully, her world will start opening up!!!
*Please excuse the snot and hair! It was hard enough to get the glasses on and take a picture. :-)

Dunk for Down Syndrome
Today, Red Bug Elementary put on a fundraiser called Dunk for Down syndrome. They asked each child to bring in a dollar to dunk their teacher and/or principal. All money raised goes to Emerson's Entourage! I'm thrilled to announce that they raised $1200!!!
Emerson had a great time hanging out with some new and old friends. She was such a sport hanging out in the heat!
My second grade co-workers.
Dr. Gooch (principal) dressed for the occasion.
The crowd of kids when we got to school. This is only the third grade crowd.
A humongous THANK YOU to Mrs. Segrest for being such an advocate for Miss Emerson. She made this event happen and we are forever grateful for her support!
