Join our Flock Of Eagles Campaign Begins November 1st, 2024
The Eckstein PTSA organizes The Eckstein Annual Campaign each year to ensure that every Eckstein student is given learning opportunities which promote academic success and social well-being.
This budget pays for essential needs that the school district does not provide. With your generous donation, we can support academics, athletics, the library, after-school clubs, enrichment activities, teacher resources, and community events. Some recently approved grants:
Our goal is to raise $150,000 to fully fund our 2025 budget.
No amount is too small. Write in any amount you'd like to donate.
Our suggested per-student donation of $250 is based on our expected budget and family participation rates.
Extend your giving, by adding support for one or more students at $250/each. Your support enables equitable opportunities for every student.
We partner with Alliance for Education as our accounting partner, who assess a 6% procesing fee on all donations.

How will the funds be managed?
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.
Can I make a recurring donation?
Yes, the Alliance for Education offers a convenient monthly pament option.
How can I request funds from the EAC?
You can request money from the Eckstein Annual Campaign (EAC) for your supplies, projects, or specific family needs. Anyone connected to the school—staff, parents, volunteers and friends of Eckstein—should feel comfortable requesting funds. Before doing any private fund raising, please consider contacting the EAC first. It's easier for you and helps us keep our school's parent fund-raising requests as focused as possible.
