As a PTA, we know there is a lot of anxiety and uncertainty in our community about the potential teacher strike, the reasons for it, and issues of child care, school lunch program, and so on.
For more information on the negotiations between the district (SPS) and teachers union (SEA), you can get updates and explanations from the SEA bargaining team on their website and on the their Facebook page. The district is also providing bargaining updates and information from their perspective, as well as Family Resources and FAQ page. Eckstein Middle School PTSA, in alignment with WA State and National PTSA, must remain neutral in this time of negotiations. We will be a resource for information regarding the strike and supports available to our community. Eckstein Middle School will be a food site from 10 AM - 1 PM during the teachers strike.

The generosity of our families during our 2020 campaign allowed the EAC to support not only our school, but our greater community. We are proud to have donated to existing charities with direct ties to our students, and also to have created our own programs while we shifted our focus to a lens on diversity, inclusion and equity. Our 2021 campaign allocations will continue to focus on our diversity, inclusion and equity objectives, as well as supporting our students during this transitional time. We also look forward to setting goals for improving as much infrastructure as we can, making our school as safe as we can and raising student achievement as much as we can. So, let’s Raise the Dollars and Lift the Kids! Our campaign will run through Tuesday, Nov 16. We value equally our families’ donations of dollars, volunteerism and feedback. These two weeks in November are the only time Eckstein’s PTSA will ask for donations to our school. We limit these asks to this short time period so as not to overload our school community with constant fund raising. We ask for your interest and support during these very important two weeks! Thank you in advance for giving to Eckstein’s Annual Campaign in whatever way feels best to your family. Sincerely, EAC Co-Chairs, Julie Matz MC Schmitt Lauren Abraham |
