President's Message

Welcome to a new and exciting year at Emery Elementary! I’m Kathleen, and I am thrilled to serve as your Emery PTO President for the 24/25 academic year. I’m a proud parent of two Emery students and have spent a significant portion of the past year volunteering in various capacities at the school. I’m passionate about fostering community growth and having lived in the Plantation Lakes area for the past three years, I can attest to what a wonderful community we have here. I’m looking forward to a fantastic year ahead!
