Re: VAC Art Show May 19 and 20 6-8pm
Do we know what time the seniors will be highlighted on the 19th? Thanks!?
?Ms. Harris asked me to remind parents that the VAC Art Show will include work from all VAC students in grades 9-12.? On May?19, they will spend about 20 minutes highlighting? seniors and the rest of 6-8pm families can enjoy the show. On May?20, they will spend a short time honoring Jane Walsh who retired from VAC last year. All visitors may come either night.
Please sign up to donate refreshments or to supervise the refreshments table if you can at

Re: Graduation honor cords purchased by our GoFundMe
? Thanks for taking the lead on this Kim! Folks can still donate and we will use any leftover to get food for the art show and or replenish supplies in the VAC. Still waiting on their wishlist!? Carolyn (Amelie 2022)

? Dear Einstein Families,
Mark your calendars for the VAC Art Show, May 19-20 from 6-8pm. The first night will include a celebration of seniors and the second will celebrate Ms Walsh who retired last year. All invited to both nights.?
For those of you who are new to Einstein or perhaps just don't know, the Visual Art Center (VAC) is a county-wide magnet program that has been at Einstein for almost 50 years!?
If you’re able, we could use help with light store-bought refreshments both nights?
Thanks so much, Carolyn (Parent of VAC Senior)

Hi VAC parents,
We have set up a for the VAC. Carolyn Scalera and I have taken the lead in collecting donations for Ms. Harris and Ms. Harnish to purchase honor cords for graduating seniors. Any additional funds will be donated to them to purchase supplementary supplies for the program. We are expecting an Amazon wish list to also be available so that you can purchase items directly if you prefer.
If you have any questions, please contact me directly.

Welcome to the VAC! You can attend either/both nights! All the art stays up for the whole show. On senior night they do a special recognition of seniors. The second night is alumni night and they will acknowledge Ms Walsh, long time VAC teacher. But anyone can go either night and walk around looking at all the amazing work of ALL VAC students. I enjoyed senior night when my student was a freshmen, it’s amazing to see the culmination of work.? Hope that helps, thanks for asking!?

Right! I was just trying to gauge if the wish list was just an idea or if there was a plan to help make sure this happens. I am planning?to sign up on the list for refreshments/support.? Thanks for keeping us updated!

Not that a bake sale is a huge fundraiser but a little reception at the Art Show is also nice - whether we sell the goods or just have them available.
Love the idea for a fundraiser. Sofia had a wonderful 4 years at the VAC.
Amanda (Sofia Montes Garzon - Senior) I think?it is a great idea to do a fund raiser- if they do not have any?specific requests, we can always gift them money to use in the coming?year or so.?

Re: Shoutout to Ms. Harris and Ms. Harnish
My daughter is a junior, and new to the VAC. It's so encouraging to hear such positive remarks?about the teachers and to experience the support and opportunities?that Ms. Harris and Ms. Harnish work so hard to provide. THANK YOU!!!
- Roxanne Jarrett
As the parent of a VAC senior, I want to shoutout Ms. Harris and Ms. Harnish for the extra work they put in recently to support seniors applying to colleges: letters of recommendation, portfolio reviews, virtual school visits. The Nov 1 deadline was right on top of their end of quarter deadlines. This first hurdle is past us now.
