PTSA Fall Fundraising Ending Soon

Your Einstein PTSA has only two big fundraising events through the year, Fall Fundraising and Fun Run around May/June. We need your donations and Memberships so we can exist and create impact in our community.

So far, we are at 55% of our goal. If you haven’t done it yet, there’s still time. Your Membership ($17.00) and Donations will make a huge difference in our school โค๏ธ

* There will be a surprise for the class with more Memberships by October 31st,
so far Mrs. Johnson's (4th DL), Sra. Reynoso's (5th DL) and Mrs. Silverman's (3rd DL) classes have the highest number of Memberships *

 

Your contributions at work last month: 

* $700 on Kindergarten Decodable Books

* $1400 on Books for the Library

* Material for Art Docent Classes

* Scholarships for Student Activities

* Harvest Snacks for our Staff & Teachers

These are a few projects for the following months, which are at risk without your contributions:

* Winter-Wonderland Bazaar, Bingo Night, Talent Show

* Buses for Fieldtrips

* Scholarships for After-School Activities

* Staff Appreciation events every month

* Support for 5th Grade camp
