June PTO Minutes

• Call meeting to order
• ​Approval of May minutes – Angie
• Treasure report – Mandy – Most of the expenses are from teacher appreciation.  Book fair deposit is in there as well. Assembly expenses and Jax rentals for Health and Fitness Day.  We will start to have a lot of field trips come in as well. All of the teachers received $500 from PTO to spend on classroom needs as well, so some of those expenses have come in as well.
• Teacher report – Mrs. J. Defever – Big thank you from all the teachers for teacher appreciation! Everyone was very surprised about the $500 gift as well.  Field trips coming up, K had a scholarship for all four classes to go to the Children’s Museum. We will just have the busing expense.
• Principal Academics report – Ms. Kent – Third and fourth finished the MStep which was pretty grueling.  Had a very successful Health & Fitness day. The weather was great for the day. NWEA assessments will be done this week.  We will crunch numbers about the results next week. Both 3rd teachers will move to 4th grade.  McKenna and Defever will go to 3rd and possibly roll the following year to 4th.
• Old Business:
  • Funds and field trips – requests for Maat/Bender tomorrow to Nature Center
  • Defever/McKenna went to Camp Scottie this week – outdoor adventure experience – 4th also went to CMU history museum – 4th also went to the Little School House, but we may not continue to do this one. Beach balls and ice cream (or pizza) for last day or clap out
  • 3rd grade – water festival at North End park and White Caps game – roller rink
  • K – to Childrens museum
  • 1st went to the Zoo in the fall and will do a Hemlock day
  • 2nd would like a pizza party/picnic at Hemlock
  • Have had some trouble getting forms for field trips and expenses requests coming in time for approval.
• New Business:
• Box tops/Shoparoo – Mandy turned in about $1000 for the whole year.  Do we want to give a reward to the kids for box/tops earning for the year?  Give them extra recess time? Maybe just a give a shout out on announcements.
• Walk-A-Thon
  • Using the “Move your body” theme
  • Will meet in July to talk about moving forward
  • Brought up at the MS meeting, using corporate sponsors money at the MS level next year.  Will have to discuss this with Brookside PTO. Maybe flip flopping years MS with Elementary.  Maybe giving businesses an option of which level to donate too, or which building to donate to.
