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?

Girls on the run: Need one more adult volunteer to help. This will be Wednesdays and Thursdays from 2:45-4:00 at the school. We have only 15 spots available for girls in 3-5 grades. You need to sign up at the health department and you can download the form from the internet.
Fall Fundraiser: We have budgeted $350 for prizes, publicity, etc. We will need to further discuss the incentives, etc. This is the Idaho Preferred Fundraiser. All items are $10, $4.25 goes to the school, the other goes back to the Idaho farmers and producers of the products.
Chubbuck PTA now has a facebook page! It is under chubbuckelementaryschoolpta on facebook. We will post information there as well as our blog.
Lunch for the teachers is scheduled for March 4th.
Some ideas for increasing membership: A raffle at back to school day? We will definitely set up a table with information about why PTA is important.
Book Fair: We will plan one for Grandparents night (to set up Jan 26th and leave up through the 28th) and have a 2nd book fair during the carnival at the end of school to encourage summer reading. This will be May 26th and 27th.

Meeting Minutes for April
This is an abbreviated version of the minutes... for the full document e-mail leslischei@yahoo.com
Laurie Zahm and Korby Vaughn came to update us on our Title One programs for the year. Our funding is down 13% for next year, but with Stimulus money we have 5 title one employees for one more year. We will also use stimulus money to purchase new computers for classrooms and a smartboard for 4th grade.
Field trip update: We will be allowed to fund a field trip for Kindergarten and 2nd grade since they haven't had one yet this year. We voted to pay for those trips as long as we can afford them, we are still waiting on the final cost for those.
Carnival: We plan to have cotton candy, popcorn, dad's baseball game, popsicles, possibly Reel theatre tickets. We have put an announcement in the Chubbuck Chatter for donations of candy, prizes, drinks, etc.
5th Grade Graduation: We will make a 6th grade survival kit for all students. They will also have pizza in the park and the lip sync.
T-shirts: We have found a new vendor that we are excited about! We are hoping to have mock-ups of two designs and let the students vote which one they like the best. The shirts will be about $6.50 each. We plan to order an initial 144 to sell at back to school day and then make additional orders as needed. Mary Kae Ryner will be in charge of this.
No meeting next month.
We discussed the Idaho Preferred Fundraiser. This is about a dozen local products sold for $10 each. We would get $4.25 from each product. We would need to sell about 1300 items to earn about what we did last year. We would need to separate products when they arrive, do an assembly, and provide prizes. It would be more work for us but would be great to support Idaho products. We will keep discussing.
For next year the school needs new playground equipment, increased teacher scholarships, and possibly more money for reading aides.
Jill Serpa and Shannon Allred, district reading specialists, talked to us about summer reading and writing. E-mail me if you'd like the list.
