Einstein Elementary

Reminder: All District 54 schools will be closed on Tuesday, November 3rd, as the buildings will be used for polling places.

We’re still feeling the excitement from PTA’s Trunk or Treat! We loved seeing all the creative trunks and so many of our Owl families come together for a night of Halloween fun! 👻🎃 A huge thank you to our amazing PTA for making this event a highlight of the year for our entire Owl community! 🧡

Tomorrow’s dress code: Zero effort, maximum cozy. Get those PJs ready for an all school Pajama Day! 😴✨

A new library record! 🏆 Our 6th graders built the tallest tower in library history! Through teamwork, strategy, and careful planning, they made sure their tower could stand tall once lifted into place!

We're excited for our spooky fun tomorrow, October 28th!

🚶‍♂️ COSTUME PARADE (1:45pm)
The parade starts at Door 14, circles around to the park, loops around the school, and heads back inside. Family members are welcome to cheer and take photos from anywhere along the parade route as the students march by! Please note that the parking lot will be closed during this time.

🍬 PTA'S TRUNK OR TREAT (3:15pm – 4:15pm)
Stick around after school for awesome trunks, tasty treats, and plenty of Halloween fun!

The sweetest principal deserves the sweetest surprise! In honor of Principal Appreciation Day, our students shared kind words and heartfelt messages for Ms. Ciesla on special “Ciesla’s Pieces!” We are so lucky to have a principal who makes Einstein such a sweet place to learn and grow! ❤️🦉 Happy Principal Appreciation Day, Ms. Ciesla!

Mr. Heilbronner and Mr. Whitney joined students for a little friendly competition on the soccer court! ⚽️ Nothing beats fresh air, teamwork, and making memories outside the classroom!

🩷 Think Pink Tomorrow! 🩷

Our Student Ambassadors came up with a wonderful idea to host a Pink Out Day to honor breast cancer survivors, remember those we have lost, and show support for all individuals and families affected by breast cancer.

We invite all students and staff to wear pink tomorrow as we come together to raise awareness and show our support for this important cause. Thank you for helping us make this a meaningful day for our school community! 💕

Books, skulls, and a little library know-how! Our 1st graders had a blast visiting the Schaumburg Library! They enjoyed a story, made some spooky skull masks, and learned the ins and outs of checking out and returning books. They’re already ready for their next visit - and we can’t wait for the rest of our 1st grade classrooms to join the fun this week! ❤️📚

Lunch is better at the beach! Mrs. Schwartz’s class celebrated filling up their lunch/recess stamp card by bringing in beach towels and turning lunchtime into a beach party! ☀️🏖️

We are so proud of our 6th graders that represented Einstein at the Addams Cross Country Invite! Way to go, Owls! 🦉

🫧 Special delivery! 🫧 Our halls were bubbling with excitement as these two delivered the first round of ducks to classrooms for their soap donations! Thank you to our Einstein families for helping make Duck, Duck, Donate such a splash! We can't wait to see how many more ducks we can earn! 🧼🦆🫧❤️

Get ready to Duck, Duck, Donate! 🦆 Starting Monday, September 21st, we’re asking students to bring in brand-new bars of soap (or body wash) to help stock our school pantry and support our local community. How it Works: 🫧 Earn Ducks: Classrooms will earn rubber ducks based on the soap and cash donations they collect! 🫧The Big Race: If we collect 2,000 bars as a school, those ducks will compete in an exciting race hosted by the Hanover Park Fire Department on Friday, October 2nd! 🫧No Soap? No Problem! Cash donations also support our pantry and help your child’s class earn ducks. You can send cash in a labeled envelope to your child’s classroom teacher. Thank you for your generosity and support in making our soap drive a splashing success! 🧼
