Meeting Minutes December 13, 2012


Minutes-Woolwich PTA                               
Meeting-December 13,2012
Meeting called to order at 6:03

OLD BUSINESS-
Box Tops- The box top contest is in full swing with a football theme this year.  Every 100 box tops are equal to one touchdown.  The classroom with the most touchdowns will get a visit from the Morse football players.  This drive will be ending right around the Super Bowl.

Terracycle-A check for 85.00 was collected for juice pouches and another large shipment has just been sent. 

Shop Till You Drop- We had 52 vendors and made $773.67 less the cost of table rental and the cost of the iPod shuffle for the raffle.
Discussion-It was suggested that we do a fair punch card next year for shoppers to have punched at each craft fair where they can receive a cup of coffee.  This could promote fair hopping to encourage people to visit all the local craft fairs.  It was also suggested that the day be extended by one hour in the am or pm to allow for more shopping time.

Cookbook-Need to put out a request for more recipes.

Treasurers Report-Stefanie reported $XXXX in the PTA's account.

Scholastic Book Fair-The book fair generated around $3000.00 in sales.   The profits will allow us to provide books for the 6th, 7th and 8th grade book club as well as books to give at the RTI breakfast or for students who's families cannot afford books.    Looking for ideas on how to get books to the students that need them most without them feeling singled out.

Door Closer- No updates from the office.

New Business-
Gretchen S. spoke to the PTA to address her concerns about internet safety and her desire to put together a group or offer a blog to give support to students and parents regarding internet safety. She wants to let parents know what's out there for social media and discuss what other parents are doing to keep their kids safe.  Karen suggested we do a survey to see how many parents would be interested.  Jennifer said she would chat with Mr. Soule and get his thoughts and report back next month.

Wellness- A Family Activity Night is planned for January 17th. 

Meeting Adjourned at 6:55
