Mrs. Darveau is hard at work lending a helping hand to our youngest students. Lunch time is everyone's favorite time of day to catch up with friends, and to make new and stronger connections. This goes for student/teacher relationships as well. Mrs. Darveau does an excellent job of taking time to listen and connect with each and every Emerson Crusader.
