About Soaring Eagles Alliance (YOUR PTO!) |

Exciting changes took place in the 2007 - 2008 school year at Eldorado K-8. One component is the establishment of the Soaring Eagles Alliance. It is a non-profit organization
designed to meet the needs at Eldorado K-8 that are not currently met by
district budgets.
Why create Soaring Eagles Alliance?
This new Parent, Teacher and Community Organization is first and
foremost a non-profit organization. As a
non-profit we can apply for grants and resources that are not currently
available to us. All donations are
charitable donations, tax-deductible, and are available for matching funds from
many employers and corporations. Additionally,
your dollars will go directly to Eldorado K-8 and its students. As you donate to Soaring Eagles Alliance,
your money will have a direct impact on crucial direct needs at Eldorado K-8
with focuses on student achievement, school and student pride.
How will the Soaring Eagles Alliance work? Through openness, clear communication,
coordinated efforts, and determination, we can have it all at Eldorado
K-8. Soaring Eagles Alliance will sponsor a major annual campaign drive to solicit donations from every family
at Eldorado K-8. These funds will go directly to Soaring
Eagles Alliance with the sole purpose of being used to support major
educational funding initiatives and classroom assistance for education at
Eldorado K-8. We have comprised our
goals with feedback directly received from parents, teachers, students and
administration. Enclosed in this packet is a working copy of the Eldorado K-8
wish list. Additionally, we will be using more fun and creative ways throughout
the year to enhance the initiatives and needs of the school.
Who will make decisions for Soaring Eagles Alliance? Elections for Board of Director positions take place at the last school year meeting. This volunteer group, with support of Boulder based Cahill O’Kelly & Associates
(CPA’s), has created a framework that will rely strongly on our parent and community
partnerships as well as Eldorado staff and administration.
