Call meeting to order

• Approval of November minutes - Zach approves
  
• Treasure report -  Some walk-a-thon end assembly expenses, holiday shop, etc.
  
• Teacher report - Mrs. Scheible - Thanks for all the fun incentives!!  BWW lunch was great, the kids were really excited about it!  There isn’t much else to report, everyone is looking forward to break coming up.
  
• Principal report - Ms. Kent - academics report - We have the harmonica performers coming on the 19th.  The Kindergarteners have an “in”formance, where they will sing a few Christmas songs.  Maybe starting at 9am.  Parents will receive an invite, going out soon.
  
• Old Business:
  
  • Walk-A-Thon - still wrapping up!!
    
• New Business:
  
  • Box tops/Shoparoo - Katie has collected box tops, but hasn’t counted them up yet.
    
  • Holiday Shop
    
    • Sign up
      
    • Picking stuff up Sunday, Dec. 10 if anyone can help, set up this day too.  We will have to purchase some things in the store that day as well.  We do have some extra things left over from years past as well.  Meet at Dollar Tree at 2pm.
      
    • Shop runs Mon., Tues., Wed. morning.
      
    • We need to order tables, and check that we will have high school helpers as well.  We usually buy the high schoolers lunch, too.
      
    • Sign up sheet for teachers, sheet to go home to parents with list.
      
  • What else?
    
  • We usually give a $100 scholastic gift card for the teachers as a Christmas gift.  Approved.
    
  • The box top/athletics competition idea is a no go for the time being.
    
  • Angie - box tops idea - have residence halls compete for collecting boxtops for us, honor students could use as volunteer hours.  Have each hall adopt a classroom, and have classrooms write to the halls.
    
    • Have we ever let parents know how much box tops earn us?  Maybe if we sent something home that shows how valuable they are, we would get better participation.
      
  • There is an education association that may be someone we could contact if we ever need volunteers.
