Give Now to the Eckstein Annual Campaign
We Are Thankful For YOU!
YOU – our amazing Eckstein community — donated more than $100,000 to our kids during last year’s Eckstein Annual Campaign (EAC)! That’s an 84% increase over the previous year. WOW!!! We are grateful for the incredible level of participation and generosity you have shown. In January alone we funded $60,000 of teacher and staff requests.

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, athletics, extracurricular activities, and families in need. 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 general COVID-19 relief as needed for both our staff and student families. You can learn more about the Annual Campaign and how the money is dispersed below.
Please, tell us how you’d like to see Annual Campaign funds used!

What is it?
The Eckstein Annual Campaign raises money for our Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) and is totally parent-funded. The entire yearly budget comes from you. Where does the money go? The PTSA uses the money to pay for extras our kids need, but the school district doesn’t provide. Things like beakers for science; books for the library; Field Day; a new sound system for the auditorium; resources for math, language arts and social studies; after school programs; coaching staff for sports; up-to-date technology; COVID-19 relief and so much more! If you are in need of support — right now — to meet your child's educational or basic needs please contact your school counselor. Who decides how the money is spent? Each year, the teachers and staff of Eckstein put in “grant requests” to the PTSA. (For example, the math department may ask for new and better workbooks or the library may need new chairs.) The PTSA works with the principal to determine which grants are funded or deferred, based on need and budget. How much should I give?
The Annual Campaign committee has suggested donation amounts, but Eckstein values ANY donation of your money, time or involvement.
