· The Treasurer's Report was reviewed by all attendee's. We discussed shifting a few budget items from the original budget. This would not result in a net change, just a shift between lines. Below is the proposal:

· Visiting Authors would increase by $500 (change in amount required for Author from anticipated)

· Decrease teacher mini-grants from $1,500 to $1,000. Teacher mini-grants have expenses $161 thus far, the budget does not generally get all used.

· Community Assets contributions can decrease $200 from $2,000 to $1,800 (underspent and done)

· Fall parade decreases by $65 (underspent and done)

· Harvest Day/Fall Festival decreases from $500 to $0 since this expense is in Fitness Festival.

· Total decreases are $765.

· Grandparents day increased from $25 to $200 (we had to purchase coffee supplies)

· Parent University increases from $50 to $100 (more then we anticipated in attendance).

· RSCD Sharing and Caring Day is added with a budget of $540.

· Total increases $765.

· Today some of our Kindergarten and First Grade classes hosted a group of students from the Rochester School of learning, School #15. The students read a story together, played get-to-know-you games and celebrated Valentine's Day together!

· Our new friends were sent home with special letters prepared by our students, goody bags and the book they read together. We hope that pen-pal relationships will be formed with our new friends.

· Sales are going great! Another $500 was sold since the Treasurer's Report was prepared.

· The school was decorated with stars everywhere!! There were 100 stars going up the stairs and another down the hall. Kathy had stickers for all the students and created a special "100th day Banner."

· Highly acclaimed author Robin Pulver will be visiting Lima Primary on Friday, February 16. Some of her books will be available for sale. Volunteers needed to prepare side dishes i.e. salad, dessert, etc. for lunch on Friday for author and staff.
