PTSA Board Meeting Minutes April 7th

PTSA Board Meeting - April 7, 2009

**Budget - Traci handed out the budget and gave everyone a copy. She has it itemized as to what we have spent this year and what we will still be paying for.

We will for sure leave $2000 as carryover for next year. We will see how the fundraiser goes and then decide on our donation to the community council and also see about saving more than $2000 to function properly next year.

We have paid for all t shirts, sweatshirts and memory books, so any money that comes in will be added to our budget. More discussion at our next board meeting. This was not really an amendment, but a more clear explanation of what our budget has been all year and an update for everyone.

**Nominating committee is Chantel Brown, Shannon Green and Julie Bosch. They will be contacting people to staff our board for next year. Sheri will submit the names to them and we will get it taken care of.

**Fundraiser - Melissa and Sheri will make some posters to put around the school. Sheri will email the info to everyone.
-April 15 at the assembly we will make an announcement to get the students and teachers excited about the game and also to give them more information.
-The Bee from the SL Bees will be coming from 7:00-8:00

Tuesday - Have a cold one on us! Cold drinks in the teacher lounge (Wendy)
Wednesday - Need chocolate? We’ve got your back (big bowl of chocolate candies)

Wendy will work on making a form for students to do a write up about teachers. (What they like about them, what makes them special, etc.) We will see what we get handed in and then maybe read them at the faculty meeting on Monday (May 4), but want to recognize everyone collectively. We will make an announcement about the forms on the 27th.

Any other ideas or suggestions are welcome!
We will decide about our next meeting after April 20th.
