  1. Staff Appreciation Chair: Our teachers and staff are Emerson’s greatest assets and we recognize them formally twice each year. PACE hosts a holiday lunch before winter break, and a breakfast and lunch during LAUSD Teacher Appreciation week in early May. As Chair, you would be responsible for organizing the catering for each event, recruiting volunteers, and overseeing the decor and general aspects of each event. PACE is equipped with a budget, catering contacts, decorations and a blueprint from previous years’ events making this role a breeze!
