PTO Meeting 7/20/16

Attendance: Rhonna, Robin, Stacey, Kourtney, Julie J., Marcinda, Rebekah, Kristi, Ms. Jones.

Budget: Rhonna Unanimously approved. Also approved to change school gift amount to $2000. We know that the Income doesn’t match the expenses. We do have a cushion in our
bank account, but hope everyone will be conservative with their allotted $.

Back to School Night
Meet @ 5pm to help set up!
Assignments:

• Carnival Booth: Rhonna & Kourtney
• Volunteer Booth (Rotunda) : Robin & Rebekah
• Carpool (Library): Rhonna set up
• Uniforms & Merchandise (Science Room): Liz & Kristi
• Handing out packets: Marcinda & Stacey
• Ushering: We need a few more helpers to point parents in the right direction and change out each of us so we can visit teachers! If you are willing to help, please let me (Marcinda) know!

**Nicole talked about possibly not doing the General mtg and cutting back to school night into 2 sessions based on last name. – Stay tuned!

Packet Info:
- Store rewards flyer (Red Robin, Smith’s, Boxtops, Shoparoo, Office Max)
- What emails do we want on the Who’s Who list? (Volunteer coordinator / PTO/ etc?)
- Calendar of Events

Volunteer button on front of school page and volunteer email.

Merchandise:
Rhonna Ordering long and short sleeve polos with eagle logo embroidered on them. ~$15. Still looking into ways to lower the price. These can be worn any day instead of just Fridays
like the t-shirts.

School Gift – Marquee Sign: Rhonna Found an electrician that will do the work for $487 and work with the sign company to make sure it is correct. Over the $5000 gift budget, so we are lowering the $ for next year.

Fundraising:
Stacey wants family events not just writing a check. Meeting to sort things out, but a few of the great ideas:

• Movie night with popcorn, preordered dinner available and silent auction (Rhonna). *Pancake breakfast /waffle bar
• Christmas portraits – donated photographers, pay for sittings and CD
• Cheat days around the holidays – pay to dress down

Communications:
Rebekah updated the PTO website so check it out! Still updating the Fundraising page. Like us on Facebook – lots of traffic! If you need one of your events promoted, email it to her a month in advance at rebekahgrow@gmail.com.

Anything else:
Open Positions - President Elect, College/Career Week, Teacher Appreciation Co-Chair and
Carnival Co-Chair

Next Meeting: Wasn’t discussed – we’ll email reminders!
