Pantry Packs at Einstein Needs Your Help

We need your help to make the Pantry Program happen at Einstein. Each month two drivers would need to pick up empty boxes at the school's office, then drop them off at Hopelink in Redmond and bring back full boxes to Einstein. This usually happens on the second or third week of the month. |

Einstein Primary Choir Begins!!
|
From Ms. Lindgren:
I am so excited to announce that our Primary Choir will be starting on Tuesday, February 28th . Singing has been absent from our school life for more than two years and I could not be happier for its return. All students in kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade are welcome to join.
Choir is a wonderful opportunity for students to get an extra-dose of music and to make new friends. Primary Choir meets EVERY Tuesday morning from 8:15 to 9:00 am in the music room, students are dismissed to their class line-up or breakfast directly from choir. We practice every week until the first week of June. We finish our season with a joint concert with our Intermediate Choir in early June. |
