Minutes for PTA Meeting, 11-19-10 1:00 pm Chubbuck Media Center
Treasurers Report Passed around… we have paid our dues to State and National PTA and our Insurance, so we are a PTA in good standing. Report showed almost $3000 in t-shirt sales, we also paid our $2000 donation for reading aids.
Spring Fundraiser: Sara Bohney and Bob Scovil of Modern Woodmen of America came to talk about helping with our fundraiser. They are willing to help with donations (like jump ropes for a jump-a-thon or copies), also will match funds up to $2000. We will need to write a check to them for the amount of the match and then we will get double that amount back. We discussed several ideas for a fun run or a jump-a-thon. We will need to get information to the MWA a month or two ahead of our fundraiser. We could also get people from the community to come and jump or run to help.
Red Ribbon Week was great, Start the Arts went well (but volunteers need to tell Kris when they are scheduled with their teachers so there are adequate supplies available).
Reflections: We had 79 entries in 4 categories. Some are already judged, others will be judged by Monday or Tuesday. The winners will get ribbons and $2 bills. Winners will go in the Chubbuck Chatter.
Fall Fundraiser Distribution: This will be Nov. 29th, Monday, starting at 4:00. We will need to organize each student’s order, then start pick-ups around 6:00.
Candy Grams: Will be Mon-Thursday, Dec. 13-16th, sold during lunch (and some available from the teachers to sell in their classrooms) for 50 cents each. We already have some forms and candy canes left over that we can use to get started.
Advocacy Day: PTA set its legislative priorities, including Education funding and support of a texting while driving bill. Legislative Day is set for Feb. 10th in Boise.
Early Morning reading is coming up! We need a volunteer to read for January, March and April.
An idea for a PTA project: Emergency kits for the classrooms that teachers could take with them during evacuations.

Chubbuck PTA Meeting Minutes
October 15, 2010 1:00 pm Chubbuck Media Center
*Fall Fundraiser: Our numbers are down over last year, we have so far raised about $3000 (last year was closer to $6500). There was some discussion about the fundraiser, the product selection. We may change next year, we’ll see once the orders are all in and counted from this weekend. In the meantime, we need to look at trimming our budget.
Katy Mottishaw moved that we change the Spring Fundariser budget to $350. Kris Mullen seconded, passed unaminously. Katy Mottishaw also moved (Kris Mulled second) that we charge a $6 returned check fee to cover our cost when checks bounce. Passed unanimously. This means that we will need to make notification on all PTA items that involve money, fundraisers, membership, t-shirts, etc.
Ideas for the Spring Fundraiser? Maybe a jump-rope a thon, a walk-a-thon… also could we find companies to match funds? We will continue to think of ideas.
Red Ribbon Week: Oct. 25-28… Red dog tags are coming that say “Panthers are 2 smart 2 do drugs”… those will be handed out on Monday. A letter to the teachers is going out next week to explain the theme days, and each teacher will be given a bag of red tickets. The students that participate will receive a ticket and then placed in a drawing for prizes at the end of each day. Monday will be Red Day “Panthers are 2 hot 2 do drugs”… Tuesday will be Extreme Pride Day “Take pride in yourself, don’t do drugs”… Wednesday will be silly hat or hair day “Its OK to be one of a kind, don’t do drugs”… Thursday will be lounge wear, “Don’t Sweat it, don’t do drugs”.
Start the Arts will start the week of Nov. 8th, the parent meeting will be the week before that. The younger classes will do a lesson with lines. They will draw pictures with soap. The older classes will do a lesson on contrast, and will draw “blind” (white crayon on white paper) and then paint over it.
Halloween parties: We are still thinking of ideas for treats, these are scheduled for the 28th for kindergarten and the 29th.
Reflections kick-off will be Nov. 1st… Volunteers will go to each class to explain the program… entries will be due back the week of the 15th.
Mr. Keller, Mr. Garcia, and Mr. Muckerman will represent our school at the lottery “Scratch for Schools” at ISU. All the money we scratch from lottery tickets will go to our school!

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?

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.
