 Calling all cookie makers (or buyers)! Thursday, Dec. 12 is the annual cookie exchange for Eckstein staff, who look forward to this fun event every year. We provide the cookies and tins, and they take home a fabulous array of treats to enjoy with friends and family. Sign up to bring (or send with your student) cookies and empty containers on the morning of Thursday, Dec. 12. Please bring them to the front of the school and we’ll take it from there. Thanks for making a beloved Eckstein tradition possible! YOU - our amazing Eckstein community - donated more than $100,000 to our kids during this year’s Eckstein Annual Campaign (EAC)! That’s an 84% increase over last year. WOW!!! As we head into Thanksgiving, we are feeling grateful for the incredible level of participation and generosity you have shown. The Annual Campaign raises money for the Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) and is totally parent-funded. The entire yearly budget comes from you! Every dollar raised goes supports Eckstein students in academics, arts and athletics. The Campaign buys things that our kids need, but the school district doesn’t pay for. Things like lab supplies, headphones, workbooks, school supplies, coaches, a piano accompanist, art materials, and so much more. If you’d like to learn more about the Annual Campaign and how the money is dispersed, click here. Please, tell us how you’d like to see Annual Campaign funds used! Take our short survey here. The more we know the better we can do! Again, the PTSA thanks everyone for their participation in the Annual Campaign and the survey. We value your feedback and support. Sincerely, the Eckstein Annual Campaign Chairs, Julie Matz MC Schmitt Wendy Sykes
