Business Sponsor Shoutout!

I want to give a HUGE shout-out to our first PTO business sponsor, Discover Orthodontics, located at 6052 N Fry Road, Katy (right in the Walmart parking lot).

I've had the pleasure of working with Alma and her fantastic team, and we are incredibly fortunate to have such amazing people stepping up to support us at Emery.

From now until the end of the year, they have an unbeatable deal. Book a consultation and let them know you’re from Emery Elementary. While there aren’t any discounts or rewards, we want to show them our community spirit and support, just as they have done for us.

Let's rally behind Discover Orthodontics and give them a warm Emery welcome!
