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.
If your little one became part of Einstein Elementary this year, please join us this Tuesday, 9th at the PTSA table by the Office after you drop off your kids. Come, get a coffee and a donut, and also learn about the PTSA programs, events, how to join and contribute, get your yearbook, become a volunteer, and more.
We would love to say hello and welcome you to the new school year!

School and LWSD
Welcome from Mrs. Ashley, Librarian at Einstein Elementary
Welcome back to school! I am Mrs. Ashley, the librarian at Einstein Elementary School. The mission of the LWSD Library Media Program is to provide opportunities for learners to become empowered critical thinkers, enthusiastic readers, skilled researchers, and effective, ethical users and creators of ideas and information. I look forward to sharing great books with your children this year.
It is our hope that the Einstein library will be a center for a variety of activities for students, staff, and families. You can look forward to library events such as the Book Fair (both Scholastic and Brick-and-Mortar Books), author visits, and family literacy nights.
You can support our library and celebrate an important event in your child’s life (such as a birthday) through our Celebration Book Clubwhich provides an opportunity to donate a book to the Einstein Library in your child’s name. A flyer will be sent home on the day your child visits the library next week, or you can access a digital copy here.
In addition, the Einstein Library maintains an Amazon Wish List for new books to add to our collection if you would like to donate at any time throughout the school year. Please reach out via email (aiashley@lwsd.org) with any questions.
Happy reading from Mrs. Ashley
