PTO Minutes

January 12, 2010



Attendees:        Jayson Tanzman, Julia Russell, Jenevra Strock, Michelle Smith





  • Julia Russell presented Treasurer report.
  • Barnes and Noble night was not very successful, we only raised $95.00 compared to last years $700.00.
  • Discussed the need to do a spring fundraiser.  We will do the PTO ink store fundraiser.  Julia spoke with marketers and had her concerns addressed.  We will run a blurb in the newsletter.
  • Again addressed the issue of not having a board for  next year and enough parent volunteer for the craft fair.  We have begun a new plea for parents to get involved.
  • Mrs. Strock presented a listing of the class field trips and the monetary requirements for these trips.  The faculty agreed to once again have the PTO work with the class parents to coordinate fundraising efforts.   We will look to fund-raise as a whole to cover the costs of the class trips (excluding the 7th and 8th grade trip).  Julia will work up some numbers so that we have a clear understanding of the funds needed for next year.
  • Michelle Smith requested that we provide the Pre K and K classes with the PTO class donation at the beginning of the school year due to the lack of funds for those two classes.
  • The PTO will produce Family Contribution envelopes for next year that

includes a check-off  list of PTO coordinated events for families to volunteer.

  • Mrs. Strock suggested that we hold a gift wrap fundraiser next fall she has had numerous requests for that from individuals.
  • Julia Russell suggested that we might sponsor a fundraiser for the music department.
  • Jayson Tanzman will coordinate the House Number fundraiser in conjunction with the new Fire Chief.


Meetting adjourned at 7:00pm.  Next meeting is Tuesday February 9, 2010 at 5:45pm.
