Please give to the Eckstein Annual Campaign
 
2020 has been all about challenges and, in the end, coming together is how we are going to meet & beat these challenges. With this in mind, Eckstein’s 2020 Annual Campaign will be directing as many of our fund raising dollars as we can to help our larger community while still retaining what we need for our school. We need your participation to be successful. Please consider donating your dollars, time and especially ideas to Eckstein’s 2020 Annual Campaign! Our campaign is currently in full swing and ends November 25th. This is the only time during the entire year that we solicit donations from our families.

Eckstein’s Anti-Racist Readaloud and community discussions

11/11/2020

From Librarian Erin Sterling

We are excited to announce that in the next few weeks all students will be starting the Eckstein Anti-Racist Readaloud in their social studies classrooms, with additional discussions in homeroom classes. This will also go along with monthly community discussions and presentations in the spring.
 
What is it? 
Many schools and cities (like Seattle!) have done a one-book study to have a common text to ground discussions and build community. At Eckstein, we will use 3 texts centered around anti-racism: 6th graders will read This Book is Anti-Racist by Tiffany Jewell; 7th and 8th graders will read the young adult version of Stamped: Racism, Anti-Racism, and You by Jason Reynolds and Ibram X. Kendi; and students in special education stand-alone social studies classes will read Civil Rights Then and Now by Kristina Brooke Daniel. Every week, students will listen to 10-15 minutes of each book in class and have a guided discussion. 
 
We encourage families to participate as well! Each month, we will be organizing a community discussion. Look out for further information about this! We are also planning on working with the PTSA to organize some presentations in the spring to discuss some of the ideas in the books. This could include an author visit, a panel discussion of local Black activists, student presentations, or other ideas.

All donations should be new, full-size varieties, in original packaging, recognizable name brands and not homemade. If you can’t make it in person or feel more comfortable donating from home, please consider ordering from our Amazon list or contact Liz Benko at pantry@tc-pta.org.


Nurse's Bulletin: Is it a cold, flu, allergies, or COVID-19?

11/9/2020

With cold, flu and respiratory season amongst us, you are probably concerned about every sniffle, cough, scratchy throat or upset stomach as their symptoms are very similar to that of the new coronovirus COVID-19. Let this article and attached chart help you recognize the differences between these conditions. 

The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America  works closely with the World Health Organization (WHO) and Center for Disease CDC. They've posted this helpful article on evaluating symptoms you may be experiencing and recognizing the differences between different illnesses.

If you still need your flu shot and need support finding a location or finding a free flu shot due to lack of insurance, please reach out to Nurse Christie Morrison.
