PTO Meeting 8/3/17

Welcome: Erin, PTO President Vice President

Operation Playground Updates
What needs to be done to finish?- Sand. Evergreen Soils was called during the meeting and they will be delivering 3 yards to the school on Tuesday, August 8th at 12:00pm. Erin will let them in and show them where to dump it.

Phase 2 is being planned. The playground committee met with Bruce from Component Playgrounds and went over a lot of wants and wishes. They have given us a few designs to display at back to school night. We are looking at multiple obstacle course equipment that is school approved and will involve many opportunities for more students to stay active and have fun during recess.
 
College and Career- Connie Deianni let us know that she is working with Ms. Ramsay to plan College and Career week. She will have more details for us in September.

Open positions for 2017-2018:
Alivia Burgess is now the new Teacher Appreciation Chair. She is amazing and has taken over for Amy. We still need someone for Ribon Week and a signup will go out at Back to School night.
 
Back to School Night August 14th

• What sign ups do we need? Robin is making signups for the committees.
• Who will be attending? All PTO chairs that are able to help out need to attend. Please meet in the gym. We will be helping Robin with volunteer sign ups. We do understand if you just can’t because you’ve got screaming angry babies.
• Spirit Ware-Rhonna is ordering a bunch today. It will have a college bound theme.
  
  

Fall Carnival-Kourtney Dalley has been contacted. She will let us know what is being planned for the fall carnival.
 
Financials
Rhonna went over the budget one last time and it was approved.
 
Paper Copies
Nicole Jones has been sent an email asking about how copying procedures for the future need to go. We will know more info when she has a moment to reply.
           
It is important to attend PTO Meetings whenever you are able to so we can discuss the importance of the committee and the upcoming task at hand. Rhonna says if you do not attend PTO meetings, you will be dressing up as a chicken! In all honesty though, the PTO machine runs a lot smoother when all the component players are able to give input and update everyone.
 
Reminder: The PTO Closet has been cleaned and organized. Everything must be kept in a sealed container from now on. NO FOOD ITEMS may enter the room unless they are stored properly in a sealed container. This includes soda, candy, popcorn, and even décor such as multi colored rice. Many items had to be thrown out, so you need to check before assuming something you want to use is there. There are no school uniforms and we are not storing them in there anymore. They were washed and donated to people in need. Keep things clean and organized.
           
Next PTO Meeting:  September 14th at 7:00pm. It will be held at the PTO President’s house.
