PTC Meeting - March 12, 2009

Thanks to everyone who was able to attend the PTC Meeting last evening.

Items discussed:

1) RSU #1 Art Show - April 2, 2009 from 5-7pm. Laura Devin is looking for volunteers to set up art work at Dike Newell School. If you are able to do so please go anytime during school hours on April 2nd to Dike Newell. Any amount of time is appreciated. In addition, she was looking for people to bake cookies for that evening and (no surprise) we have enough volunteers to make 12 dozen cookies! Thanks ladies!!

2) Adopt a Book fundraiser for the library is on hold until we see what money is received from the stimulus package the RSU should receive. We will look at again in two weeks and see where things stand.

3) Michelle Rines gave us a update on Box Tops for education money. She has submitted our box tops for this year and we will receive $1130.40!! A HUGE thanks to Michelle for all she has done with this program. Michelle is interested in seeing if someone else would like to either take over or assist her in organizing the program. Please, see either Michelle or myself if you think you could help. Michelle has handled this for a few years and now would be a good time for someone else to step up and help her. Please consider this volunteer opportunity. It is a great opportunity for someone who can't always make the meetings but still wants to be involved with the PTC as most of the organizing is done at home.

4) Cabin Fever Dance - I will be speaking with Tom Soule to find a date we can hold the dance. The plan is to do very similar to last years dance with baskets, etc. Last year we had +/- $1200 donated to the PTC through this one evening fundraiser. Volunteers for each grade will be needed to assist in collecting basket items. More info to follow.

Once again, a HUGE thanks to all for your help and support!
