			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On February 9, 2010, voters within Seattle School District will be voting with an all mail-in ballot to replace two expiring levies that continue funding for schools. The first is a three-year operations levy. This Seattle school levy funds 23% of the Seattle Public schools operating budget for teachers, librarians, counselors, textbooks, and bilingual &amp; special education specialists. The second levy, the six-year school levy, provides safety health and maintenance improvements and academic and technology updates to Seattle schools and grounds.</p>
<p>The Eckstein School PTA Board has endorsed the renewal of the levies and has reserved <strong>Wednesday, January 27 from 7-9pm for an Eckstein phone bank</strong> on behalf of the upcoming School Levies vote.  The phone bank will be held at the Schools First headquarters at 524 Dexter Avenue N.</p>
<p>Please contact Patrick O&#8217;Kelley (<a href="mailto:pwokelley2@gmail.com">pwokelley2@gmail.com</a>) to sign up to attend the phone bank.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Hello Eckstein Jazz Fans!</h1>
<p>We&#8217;ve begun our first fundraiser to support the Eckstein Senior Jazz Band and Vocal Jazz in their quest to get to Reno.  Increasing costs and shrinking family resources create a challenge to get all our students to Reno.  We hope you can help!</p>
<p><strong><em>Barnes &amp; Noble will host a Book Fair to support the Eckstein Jazz Program beginning November 14<sup>th</sup> and ending November 21st.</em></strong></p>
<p>No need to write an extra check, no need to sell anything – all you need to do is shop for purchases you would normally make AND encourage your friends and family to do the same.  When a purchase is made, use the voucher below (click on the &#8220;Voucher&#8221; link) and Barnes &amp; Noble will credit our account.  We will receive <strong><em>in cash</em></strong> a percentage of the total sales – the more the sales the greater the percentage – up to 25%!  <strong><em>The voucher is good at any Barnes &amp; Noble in the United States! </em></strong></p>
<h2><a href="http://ecksteineagles.org/ptsa/files/2009/11/BNVoucher2009.jpg">Voucher</a></h2>
