Welcome From Your PTSA

Hello Einstein Otter families,

WELCOME to all our new and returning families! The PTSA is gearing up for another year of fun activities at Einstein. A few times a month you'll receive this newsletter with everything you need to know about what’s going on at school, and the opportunities for you to become involved. 

The Einstein PTSA is a group of parents, teachers and students' volunteers who come together to help enrich our EIN community. We do this by gaining access to resources that support whole child development in the arts and sciences, physical and mental health, and more! Our PTSA helps you and your child by providing many engaging activities throughout the year, like assemblies and programs to enhance education in our school. From guest reader events to magic shows, book fairs, and the ever-popular Multicultural Night, these are just a few of the unique experiences we host for your family to connect with others in our diverse community.

We look forward to engaging with all of you throughout the school year and helping you find ways to become a part of the Einstein family.

Cheers,

- Your Einstein PTSA
