Our 2025 Fun Run was an incredible success, and it’s all thanks to YOU! With your generosity and enthusiasm, we raised just over $16,000 — surpassing our school goal! Donations came in from 26 different states , showing just how far our Emerald community reaches. A huge thank you to Angela Gates for coordinating this year’s event. Her organization, energy, and creativity made the day run smoothly from start to finish. We’re also deeply grateful to all of the volunteers who helped with setup, passing out waters and Otter Pops, cheering, cleanup, and everything in between. We couldn’t do it without you! And of course, thank you to every student, family member, and friend who donated, shared fundraising pages, and came out to cheer on our Otters. Your support helps fund classroom needs, after-school clubs, sports, and special programs that enrich our kids’ school experience. The Fun Run isn’t just about raising money — it’s about school spirit, teamwork, and community. Seeing students run, laugh, and cheer each other on reminds us what Emerald is all about. 💚 Thank you for making this year’s Fun Run our best yet!

We are excited to announce that the Missoula Children’s Theatre (MCT) will be bringing their traveling production to Emerald Elementary this year! In just one week, two professional directors will guide our students from auditions to a full-scale performance, complete with costumes, sets, and music. This program is always a favorite—it gives students a chance to try something new, build confidence, and shine on stage.
