Mr. Tobin's Weekly Message |
|
Einstein Families and Einstein Staff,
I hope that you had as much fun at the big game last night as I did! It was too bad that we couldn't beat the Beagles this year. It was great to see so many families there cheering us on! A huge THANK YOU to all of the staff who played and volunteered and also to the parent volunteers that made this another fantastic family event!
Have a great weekend!
Thanks,
Jack M. Tobin
Principal
Albert Einstein Elementary

In our March 19th Ottermail, Mr. Tobin briefed us on the MSP tests coming up in May for grades 3-8. Testing at Einstein is scheduled for Tue May 11th - Tue May 18th for 3rd - 6th grades. A detailed schedule can be found here. Please check the LWSD website here for more information on the tests and performance levels. This information is also available on the web site in Spanish and in other languages, go to the bottom of the page to look for directions. |
Hopelink Coin Drive, May 3-14 | |
End-Summer Hunger Einstein Coin Drive starts May 3 and goes though May 14. The students will take home a small bag to collect change this coming Monday and each classroom will have a jug to collect the coins your kids bring in.
The Student Ambassadors along with our school counselor, Mrs. Crane, are organizing this drive to help end summer hunger. The money directly benefits many of the families in our community who are in need over the Summer months with the cost of food. Every penny counts!
