Committee Updates
Treasurer: Financial Report was handed out to all attending members.
Again, only concern was expenses vs
revenues of Cougar Cupboard. Ann and Colleen to follow up with committee
chair.
Mardi Gras: Another successful event with 413 students attending.
Sylvia to give donation check to Committee
Chairs for them to send. Student Council selected Golisano's Children
Hospital for the donation this
year. Profits (after donation) split with Student Council.
Continued discussion of how to increase student council role for this event.
Committee Chairs to work with Alicia DeFranco and Jared Roberts on ideas for
next year.
Some parents expressed that students were complaining about the music. It was
suggested that perhaps the Student Council could conduct a survey to gage
students opinion.
Pizza Card Fundraiser: Forms were distributed during lunch period last
week. Tables will be setup during lunch periods
the week of March 31st to hand in forms/hand out pizza cards.
Volunteers are needed to help sell Pizza Cards during Cougar Creations.
Please contact Carol Matthews or Sue Geraci if you are available.
It was suggested that the order form also be sent out via MS Messages for
those families who did not get an order form hand delivered
:-)
Cougar Creations: Volunteers are still needed for setup and cleanup.
If anyone is available, then please
contact Donna Fronk.
Mini Grants: Very few mini grant applications have been submitted this
year. Due to continued interest in use of the school
courtyard, Shawn Williams has suggested that the student council work towards
getting picnic tables for the
courtyard. Use of the tables could be used for special recognition or special
events.
Shawn to work with Student Council on submitting a Mini-Grant application to
help pay for the tables.
8th Grade Bash: Scheduled for May 2nd from 6:30 - 9:30. The DJ is
booked although there is some discrepancy
as to who funds the DJ (school or PTA).
Susan to follow-up with Jim Nelson, Sue Parker and Lauren Shaffer for forms
and process used in the past.
PTA Positions for 2008-2009: The following positions are available for
next year: Building Co-Chair, Treasurer,
Volunteer Coordinator, 8th Grade Bash Coordinator. Ann and Colleen to verify
positions/need for Pizza
Bingo and Cougar Cupboard. If anyone is interested, please contact Ann or
Colleen.
Ann to give list of open positions to Shawn Williams for availability at
upcoming orientations.
Ann to send open positions to Manor School for interested parents.
Colleen to highlight PTA at 5th-6th grade orientation on April
29th.
This was the last scheduled MS PTA Meeting for the 2007-2008 school year. If
you have any PTA questions, concerns or
suggestions, please contact the Building Co-Chairs: Ann Muir and Colleen
Allen.
