Minutes-Woolwich PTA

Meeting-February 14, 2013

OLD BUSINESS-

Pasta Fundraiser-The pasta fundraiser generated a profit of $506.19.

Window Shades-Danielle and Jennifer spoke with Diane Mitchell, a seamstress from Bath who gave us an estimate for the cost of making window covers for the classrooms.  We were looking for a shade that the teachers could easily roll down in the case of a lockdown. She gave us a price of $540.00 for 30 classroom door shades and 2 larger shades for two additional windows.

Vote-All in Favor of having the shades made by Diane Mitchell-unanimous

Cookbook-Mrs. Devon is going to have the kids draw pictures to be used as the dividers in our school cookbook.  The PTA will vote on the artwork to be used.

Box Tops-The football drive for box tops was a big success bringing in a total of $736.20.  The classroom that submitted the most box tops was treated to a football party with popcorn and a special visit from some members of the Morse High School Football Team.

Funding Request- Mrs. Luchies in the library has requested a donation in the amount of $150.00 to purchase books for the Book Club as well as the adopt-a-book program.

Vote-All in favor-unanimous

Chocolate Fundraiser- Jennifer and Danielle were sad to report that Mr. Fraser, the owner of the Bath Sweet Shoppe passed away.  They sent a condolence card to the family on behalf of the PTA.  Mrs. Fraser is a bit overwhelmed and is unable to do a chocolate order form as planned.  Instead she has offered to make a special WCS card for each student.  This card would give 25% of the sale of the chocolate go directly to the PTA.

Vote-all in favor-unanimous

Book Fair-At our next book fair we will be offering Scholastic Dollars to teachers that bring their classroom down to the book fair.

Treasurers Report-Stefanie informed the group of a balance of $XXXX.

Discussion-We discussed that for a such a small group we have a nice amount of money raised.  We brainstormed about how to drum up participation at our PTA meetings so it is not the same 10 people every month.   To keep putting on  some of the great activities (such as the Spooktacular Dance) we need more volunteers.  We discussed trying to encourage the cheerleading moms and dads to come over to the meeting while the girls are in practice  as well as doing invites via the PTA Facebook page.
