 Mr. Tobin's Weekly Message
Einstein Families and Einstein Staff,
 
International Night!
 
What a huge success! Thanks to all the parents, staff and volunteers who worked so hard to help us celebrate the diversity at Einstein during our International Night celebration. My daughters and I learned about many other cultures at the information tables and the on-stage performances. Thank you to the Einstein choir who did a fabulous job.  I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
 
Hope you are all resting up for the Spring Spruce-Up tomorrow!
Have a great weekend! 
 
Thanks,
Jack M. Tobin

LWSD Will Not Cut Next Year's Budget
 
Great News!
Once the state legislature finished its budget work, the district business office frantically crunched the numbers and came out with this result: while the final state budget includes cuts to state funding of K-12 education, Lake Washington School District will not have to make budget cuts for the 2010-2011 school year. You can read more here.
