Many, many thanks to our Embers Parent Association (EPA) who have helped make this school year a success! Our EPA solely relies on the generosity of time and talent from our own school parents. We could not let this year end without giving recognition and heartfelt appreciation to the volunteers from nearly 70 families who have assisted with this year’s celebrations, lead by our passionate committee heads. Your dedication to Embers has allowed all of us – Sparks, parents, and faculty alike – to grow, play, and celebrate. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
