Mr. Tobin's Weekly Message

Einstein Families and Einstein Staff,
 
Acting Principal Christian Fabian

I am very excited to be sharing my office with Christian Fabian who will be serving as the Principal for the Morning on Tuesday, March 9th. Christian chose this prize when he won at Bingo Night. Christian and I will be visiting classrooms, supervising recesses and performing all other duties of the principal that morning! I am really looking forward to having Christian help me on Tuesday!
Have a great weekend!

Library
 
Library: Bills are going home with students today, for books that have been over due for so long that we are assuming they are lost. If you can't find the books, please pay for the book now. Make your check payable to Einstein and send it back to school with your child along with the bill from school.
 Thank you for taking care of this.

Congratulations to the classes who "Read Across America". Each of at least 7 classes read over 2,000 minutes this week and zig-zagged their way across the map from Washington to Maine!
