French Class Field Trip
One hundred nine French students – and
nine wonderful chaperones – attended the
Seattle International Film Festival to see
Belle et Sébastien at the Uptown Cinema
on Queen Anne. After the screening we
grabbed pre-ordered boxes of Dick’s
burgers and shakes and went to Kerry Park
for lunch. As you can see, a wonderful time
was had by all! A huge MERCI to all the
people who helped make this experience
possible!

Comments
Dear Einstein Families,
As our school year comes to a close, I want to take
the time to thank our amazing parent community. I am
so appreciative of the tremendous parental support
our school community receives from August through
June. I know that parent engagement and partnership
at the secondary school is much more challenging to
navigate in comparison to your elementary school. But
staying involved and informed is so important. I feel very
fortunate that the families of Einstein have taken the
time to build a relationship with Einstein Middle School
for the past couple of years. I want to specifically thank
Lori Ramsay and Jamie Kirkwood for their PTSA leadership
this year. I also want to thank all parents who served our
children by supporting the work of the PTSA. On behalf
of the entire staff, we appreciate the countless volunteer
hours, donations of funds and baked goods, and most
importantly the work you have done with your children.
The adolescents at Einstein are not perfect, but for
teenagers they are unusually kind, courteous, creative
and good natured. We are so lucky to be able to work
with them on a daily basis. The 750 students attending
our school this year have grown and changed physically,
socially, intellectually and emotionally. I am very proud
of each and every one of them and hope that all of our
students have the opportunity to find great success and
happiness, and will continue to chase their dreams as
they become young adults.
The following are some important dates and
information to help bring the end of the year come to a

It is hard to believe how fast the year has gone by and we are at the beginning of new
friendships on the horizon. We would like to thank everyone for the amazing support you
have given to our students, school, instructors, staff, and PTSA. Without all of your support,
we wouldn’t have been able to enrich the lives of our children so much this year! This has
been an incredible journey for all of us moving forward to high school and will be a new
beginning for those entering middle school. It seems like yesterday our children were just
starting 7th grade and today they have completed another milestone on their journey.

PTSA Grants 6

Interactive Science Notebooks (INB)
Purchased through a grant provided by the PTSA.
Thank You!
Thank you (and the entire PTSA) again for

the grant you awarded me earlier this year. I
cannot even begin to tell you how great it was
to be able to provide more materials (colored
pencils, highlighters, tape, etc.) to the students
to use in their science notebooks. The students
notice and appreciate when they have sufficient
supplies and they love being able to go all out
when creating work in their notebooks. Below
are some student quotes about their notebooks
and also some pictures of the work they
created.
Thank you!
Briahna Attebery
Science Teacher

“I like my INB because it is fun to use (relative to
taking normal notes) and we get to personalize
them in different ways. Some ways it helps me learn
are the color coding, the different sections of pages
(summary, Cota’s, notes, essential question) and
the awesome processing pages.”
“My INB is really helpful. I learn a lot by using my
INB. It’s good for organizing my notes and thoughts
and I like the processing pages because you can
reflect about what you learned.”
“The processing pages help because you can
interact with the information.”
“I really like my INB because I can personalize my
notes and organize them in a way I can understand
them, it allows us to add color and express
ourselves. Writing something down in my own
words or drawing a picture of it really helps me to
remember it.”
“Having more materials has been great because
I have been able to make my INB more vibrant,
colorful and fun.”
“Color helps me focus on things that are important
and make sure it all stays together.”
“My INB helps me imprint what I learn into my
brain.”
“Writing Costa’s questions and summaries hlped
me think more about the subject matter and
drawing pictures helped me visualize it.”
“It’s great because it feels like we are making our
own textbook.”

Life Threatening Conditions
The Legislature passed SHB 2834, Children with Life
Threatening Conditions, which requires a medical
treatment plan for students attending public
schools with medical conditions that could be lifethreatening. A life threatening condition is defined
as “a health condition that will put the child in
danger of death during the school day, if medication
or treatment order and a nursing plan are not in
place.” Examples include severe asthma (has the
child been hospitalized or visited the emergency
room in the last year for treatment of asthma),
diabetes and severe allergies (that would require
administration of an Epi-Pen).
The stature requires the medical order and plan are
in place before the child can attend school. The
child will be excluded from school until the order
from a Licensed Health Care Provider is obtained.
If your child has a life threatening condition, forms
need to be completed each school year. Forms
may be obtained from me. I will be available the
week before school starts to formulate the care
plan based on the Licensed Health Care Provider’s
order. If you have any questions regarding this
requirement, please call me at (206) 393-4734.
Medication Pick-up
Prescribed, controlled medications, such as Ritalin
or Dexedrine, that are administered
at school need to be picked up
before or by the last day of school.
Over-the-counter medication and
inhalers will be sent home with
your child the last week of school.
Any medication not taken home
by the last day of school will be
thrown out as medication cannot
be stored at school over the summer.

Lines from the Library
Anne Dame, Librarian
How is it possible that June is already here? As we wrap
up the school year, here are some things to know about
library hours, due dates, summer reading, etc.:
DUE DATE: All library materials are due on Friday, June
6th. Since that is the date of the final book club, please
remember to turn in your book as well as your project.
If you need us to make an exception, you must talk to
Ms. Dame or Ms. Ching! All books must be returned and
lost/damaged books must be either paid for or replaced
before students will be able to get their yearbooks. If you
have questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
LIBRARY HOURS: Even though books must be returned by
June 6th, and there will be no further checkouts after that
date, the library will still be open for the usual times. As a
reminder, we open at 8:00 AM and are open until at least
3:30 PM daily. We are also open throughout the school
day and the second 15 minutes of each lunch. Feel free
to stop by, play a game of chess, use the computers, chat
quietly with your friends, ask for book recommendations,
do research, etc.
to the classes that were able to sign up. There will be
physical copies to distribute at that time and students who
don't make it to the book talk can pick one of those up at
their leisure.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Until the list is published, here are
a couple books from the list I have read and enjoyed.
Boys in the Boat, by Daniel James Brown - This is the story
of nine Americans and their epic quest for gold at the 1936
Berlin Olympics. The 9 young men are all University of
Washington crew members. It is the story of their struggle
during the depression, their unrelenting hard work, the
political intrigues as the Nazi party came into power, and
so much more. Inspiring non-fiction!
A Song for Bijou, by Josh Farrar - Alex is a 7th grader at an
all boys Catholic school in Brooklyn. One day he spots a
new girl at their sister school, St. Catherine's. Bijou is from
Haiti and has come here to live with her aunt and uncle
after the devastating earthquake in 2010. Alex attempts
to befriend Bijou but her cultural upbringing is quite strict
about interactions between genders. A sweet tale of
friendship with an interesting look at the Haitian culture.
SUMMER READING: The Richmond Beach and
Shoreline librarians, Aarene Storms and Rick Orsillo, have
collaborated with me and Ms. McAllister, the librarian at
Kellogg, to create a book list with each of our top picks
for summer reading. You will find action, mystery, graphic
novels, non-fiction, romance, sports, and more on our list.
Right now it is still under construction, but as soon as it
is ready, I will post it on the library website. Also, Aarene
and Rick will be here on June 10th and we will all present
Thank you to the PTSA!
THANK YOU to the PTSA for the generous grant of 2
iPads for the library! We have already used the iPads
with the WRITE Stuff club to film a table top movie
using a script they wrote themselves. I can't wait to
continue finding new uses for the iPads in the library
with our students. Thanks again for your incredible
thoughtfulness and generosity! ~ Anne Dame

Music Notes 11
to p. 1
Did You Know?
After poring through data from numerous
labs and research centers around the world,
Nina Kraus and her team came to realize how
valuable music is in enhancing learning ability.
"The brain is unable to process all of the
available sensory information from second to
second, and thus must selectively enhance
what is relevant. Playing an instrument primes
the brain to choose what is relevant in a
complex process that may involve reading
or remembering a score, timing issues and
coordination with other musicians," she
explained.
Excerpt from: "Music trains the nervous system
and improves learning ability." Thursday, July
22, 2010. Jonathan Benson, staff writer, Natural
Writer. Click HERE to read the full article.
The Einstein Jazz Band
Our Einstein Jazz Band meets before school three days a week. Members play in a band, orchestra or choir class
during the daily schedule and participate in Jazz Band as an extension of their playing experience. Being a member
of Jazz Band is lots of fun and very rewarding. We learn to play jazz, rock and Latin music. We also learn to improvise,
which is the ability to create a solo that fits in with the music that the band is playing. We perform at many Einstein,
District, community and regional events and annually
perform with Shorewood High's Jazz Band at their Big
Band Dance.
This coming year we will meet on Tuesday, Thursday
and Friday from 7-8:15am. Any members who are
planning on joining Jazz Band, and are planning to take 0
Period PE, will need to get scheduled for PE during 2nd
Semester. If you are planning to take 0 Period PE and want
to join Jazz Band, please let Mr. Halferty know right away
so that he can put you on the list of those who need 2nd
Semester PE. You can contact him at: frank.halferty@
shorelineschools.org
When 2nd Semester starts, Jazz Band Members will
come to Jazz on Tuesday and Thursday suited for PE at
7am. Students attending PE class will go to 0 period PE
directly from Jazz Band at 7:30am. Students not attending
PE will be able to practice on their own or study until 1st period begins at 8:30am. On Fridays, during 1st and 2nd
Semesters, we'll have Jazz Band from 7- 8:20am since no PE classes are scheduled on those days. Have a great summer
and we'll look forward to starting Jazz Band first thing in the fall!
