Dear 8^th Grade Families:  The Annual Eckstein 8^th Grade Dinner is approaching!  We plan to have dinner in the Eckstein Cafeteria on 11/10 (Tuesday) from 6:00 – 8:00pm.  Dinner will be provided by the RAM Restaurant which has generously offered to help us out.  The 8^th Grade Dinner has become somewhat of a tradition at Eckstein and I hope you can make it – we’d love to have you.  Please note too that if your 8th Grade student has siblings, they are welcome to join us.  Families are asked to make a donation of $15.00 for dinner.  Individuals are encouraged to donate $5.00 per person.  There is no obligation to make a donation but every bit helps.  In years past, families of 7^th & 8^th grade students volunteered to help set up and break down the dinner.  If you are interested in volunteering for this event, please contact LauraLeigh Young, our volunteer coordinator, at llyoung@seattleschools.org .  Thanks and see you there.  Mr. Cronas

The State Department of Education (WAC 382-190-040) requires that Seattle Public Schools administer a student sports/activity surveys once every three years.  The purpose of the survey is to determine students’ interest in interscholastic sports.  The survey should take no more than 10 minutes. Thank you for your assistance.
