Einstein Elementary School Otter Mail 4/9/2010 Issue 12

Through an extensive search and interview process we have hired two excellent teachers to take over their classes for the duration of the school year. Karl Olson has taken over in the sixth grade for Mrs. Danielson, and Allie Boughton has taken over in the fourth grade. Please welcome Mr. Olson and Ms. Boughton to our fantastic team of teachers at Einstein!

Have a great weekend!
