Meeting Minutes for February

PTA Meeting Minutes – Feb. 18, 2011 1:00 pm Chubbuck Media Center
**Treasurer’s Report passed around, see attached. We did well at the book fair… we sold almost $6100 in books, $1450 will go to the school library. It was very successful to have it during Grandparent’s night.
Katy Mottishaw moved and Kris Mullen 2nd that we should spend 20-25 dollars on sealable deposit envelopes for the bank.
We also have $100 credit to our account with our t-shirt company for next school year.
**District Levy: Our PTA has voted to support this. Early voting has already started, March 8 is the election day. We may be asked to pass out flyers again this year.
**Legislatve day: Get informed about the new education bills going through the house and Senate. You can find the bills, info. about our representatives at legislature.idaho.gov Be very specific in your feedback. It is important for us to be informed.
**Teacher appreciation luncheon: This is scheduled for March 4th at noon, Andrea Richardson is in charge. Costa Vida will cater again this year. We need to invite the instructional aides since they are not scheduled to work that day.
**Spring Fundraiser: We will kick off Thursday, March 31, give the kids a week to jump rope, and then a week to collect money. Money will be due back to us on April 15th. Parents can count the number of minutes that their kids jump, and then the kids can collect pledges or flat donations. We plan to give individual awards for the kids that jump the most and collect the most money, also the classes that collect the most, jump the most, have the most participation. Most of the prizes are being donated… we are hoping to find area businesses that would be willing to give us matching donations, maybe send a note home with parents to encourage that. We may also keep a daily tally of class jump totals to encourage some competition.
**PAC: we need new playground equipment! We may try to find some room in the budget to buy monkey bars now, buy other stuff later. We may also be able to find some businesses or organizations willing to help (Chubbuck Fire Dept. is willing to help).
**From the Region: There will be a vendor fair March 17 in Blackfoot for more information about fundraising.
WE NEED TO TAKE NOMINATIONS FOR NEXT YEAR’S PTA OFFICERS. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN SERVING NEXT YEAR, PLEASE CONTACT JESSIE NATE AT jnate96@yahoo.com
