PTA Meeting Minutes 9-17-10
1:00 pm Chubbuck Media Center
*Treasurer’s report passed around… so far we are at about $1100 for membership (we had $1258 last year), $947 for snack fee ($1300 last year) and $2377.97 for t-shirts (we had $1070 last year). See attached for report.
*Start the Arts: Arts week starts next week. We had our parents meeting on Thursday. Supplies are in the cabinet under the volunteer sign-ups. For any questions call Kris Mullen.
*Fall Fundraiser: Kick-off is Sept. 27. We are still working on prizes… maybe a donation of ice cream for those who participate, big prizes for the top 3 sellers… maybe class parties, pizza for the top class or a play and trade party? If anyone has ideas for businesses that might be willing to donate, let us know. At the same time, we should be thinking of ideas for the Spring Fundraiser and make sure we don’t double up on donations from a single business. Most at the meeting favored an “a-thon” type of fundraiser for Spring, we will keep discussing.
*We will be doing T-shirt Tuesday for the T-Th kindergarten students since they don’t attend on Fridays.
*Volunteer lists were handed out today, and room mothers have been assigned. Please use the people on your lists to help you.
*Carnival… we are trying to think of some ideas that might save money, maybe a field day or end of the year class parties. Let us know if you have any input on this.
*PTA take over early morning reading club? We are working to find someone to help co-ordinate volunteers and maybe take this over, we will see. We might be able to work with the Portneuf Valley Library on this.
*Picture re-takes will be on a Thursday to help accommodate Kindergarten students.
PAC: Title One
What a parent should know: How do we receive money? It comes from the federal government, then to the states, then to the schools based on income (reduced and free school lunches). We are a school-wide title one school, so all students can benefit. Title One does the following each year:
*Identifiy the students with the greatest need and in what areas based on testing.
*Set goals for improving the child’s skills
*Train the teachers
*Allocate Money
*Review.
Parents are needed for planning and input. Several parent nights are scheduled this year. We may change the times, right after school or in the mornings?
