On the final episode of this week's Eyewitness Emerson...
Co-leaders, Mrs. Darveau and Mrs. Janssen, were able to have a lunch meeting with some of this year's Student Council members. At this meeting, they discussed potential Greater Crusader Cart prizes. Throughout the week, students are awarded Greater Crusader Tickets for doing things above and beyond what is expected of them. As a class, these tickets are counted and turned into the office every Friday. One ticket from each grade level is drawn from a basket on Friday, and that student is able to pick a prize from the Greater Crusader Cart!
Tune in next week to see who will be in the spotlight.
