It is so fun for the kids to see pictures of themselves at the end of the year. We rely on pictures from families to fill out the pages, otherwise it is just the school photo.
Send in your favorite snapshots from the school year to ensure we include your student in this year's edition.
You can share all your amazing images from any device, anytime, anywhere! Once you have an account, upload your pictures from all our different events.
We are excited to announce that our school will be hosting our 7th Annual Fun Run event on May 16th. This is a great opportunity to come together as a community and support our students in a fun and healthy way!
You can do your part by volunteering on the day of the Fun Run. In past years, it took 60+ awesome volunteers to make it all happen. This is our largest fundraiser and event of the year and together, we can make this event a smashing success and help the students have a great day!

Dear Einstein families,
The Green Team is preparing some eco-friendly challenges for all our students and would like to invite you to help us make this possible!
Our challenge is to help reduce the food waste we produce in our lunchroom daily! We will be having a competition to see which one of the three lunches can reduce the most food waste during the entire month of April!
You can help too! Please work with your child to prepare a Waste-Free lunch every day. Make sure your child helps pack healthy items they like, and they’ll be happy to eat. Pack everything in reusable containers and use durable utensils and reusable water bottles.
If you send disposable items, if possible, choose compostable or recyclable containers over single use plastic.
If your students buy lunch from the cafeteria, please encourage them to take what they will eat and eat what they get.
The lunch period that reduces the most waste (we will be weighing our compost container daily after each lunch) will get a sustainable prize! Winners will be announced at the end-of the-month assembly.
If you plan to join the campus trash pick-up event, please bring extra work gloves and bags.
Thank you for helping our students conserve water, save energy, and reduce waste!
Let’s go green together!!!
Emergency Snack Donations Needed!
Our snack supply is running low!
We’re almost out of Goldfish and fruit snacks, and we need your help to keep our students fueled and focused.
If you're able to donate, please drop off snacks at the school office. Every little bit helps! Thank you for your support!
