Treasurer report
-Chrome books have gone through! Teachers report - Mrs. Krebs - Thank you for the scholastic book wish list!! Lots of chatter about what to buy!! The science fair went over well, especially considering the weather. Angie Mishler was a big help for this event. It went over really well. Some thought there could be more time to allow for people to get to everything. Ipads are going over well. It seems like they is getting more and more use. Would a training session on the ipads be useful?? A training may already in the works. -Mrs. Quinlan - Resource room could use a prescription for mobimax which runs $90 for the year. It is $600 for the school for the year. The free version is limited access. It would be very fitting for the resource room to have full access. We approve to give her the $100 for the remainder of the year. A Leaptag pen would be another piece that could be very helpful. Some people have some that can be donated. Principal report - Academic and title report. March is reading month is up and running. There are also a lot of events going on throughout the month. Testing is coming up. And the book fair is also coming up. Parent teacher conferences invitation only is coming up on the March 19. The playground will likely be under water shortly. First testing will start in April. Thanks again for all your support. Old Business - Calling all Moms was a huge success. Also, movie night was a huge success. Is it possible to do another one? We will have to check with the licensing to see if we can swing it. Could we find a time at the end of May to schedule another one? New Business - Lucky to Have You (dads day) will not take place on St. Patricks Day. Perhaps the Friday that week would work? Monday the 16th should work. Let’s get shamrock cookies for that morning as well. -Book Fair - Will Angie sell the smencils on the book fair night? The dinner will cost $290. Ms. Kent has a fund that can cover the cost. We qualified for the deluxe book fair this time. Can we cancel library again over the week? We will have book fair Monday through Wednesday in the gym and Thursday and Friday in the library. So we will move book fair from gym to library after book fair night Wednesday. We will need to order the tables, can we get the tables on Friday March 13? In March, we typically buy each student a book. We can use our scholastics money for that. We should be able to stick to about $5 or less per book. Book Fair will be open during school hours for the week of March 16-20. We will have two raffle baskets like last time. There will also be a reading night going on that Wednesday. -We will be getting a renovation on the playground. -Panera is doing a fundraiser night. You have to bring in a certain number of flyers to get a good percentage back. Should we look into this? Should we send out some feelers to see if any parents would be interested in it? -Second grade wants to go on a field trip to Meijer gardens. It would be about $1400, so they are thinking of scrapping it. Can we ask the parents to put forth $5 per student to help offset the cost? Let’s get the paperwork from them and see if we could swing it. They are also considering going to the nature center as well. -Lynn Scheible at ArtWorks contacted Emily about doing art with the 4th grade. Ms. Kent has a meeting with her and will discuss this further. -Recycle Week coming up in April. -Mrs. Booher the librarian asked for a die cutter machine. They run about $50 per letter. Perhaps get more specifics to see what exactly she needs. -Box Tops Competition at Ferris or at the High School. Maybe at the start of next year.Box Tops are down, but it is mostly because they aren’t making any of the bonus tops right now. -Amber will call Pizza Hut and ask about the Book It. -The kids keep asking about a black light party. They also have requested music over the speaker at lunch recess. -We are looking at June 1 or 2 for the health fair. Treasurer Report
-After all other expenses, we paid out $40+ dollars for the Holiday shop, which is great! Money from Box Tops and Match Day as well. January was a pretty quiet month. -Playground-Meeting on the 10th to go over playground info. We are anticipating being asked to pay for a structure of some sort on the playground. Ms. Kent prefers a K-2 unit and also a gaga pit. Are they considering eliminating anything on the playground?? There have been a lot injury's on the monkey bars. Teacher Report - Mrs. Scheible - Teachers needs - K could use another iPad to facilitate centers or in-class academic time. -Field Trips-K, 2, & 3 are looking at field trips. K wants to go to The Childrens Museum in GR. 2 wants to go to a Nature center in Cedar Springs. 3 wants to go to a place in Howard City. 4 does a lot of little things in April/May usually. -Scholastic resources and the catalog - the teacher are all looking at it. After the next book fair, we should be sitting on about $5000. K teachers looking at a listening center for the ipads, we should go ahead and order them now. They do not have ipads through scholastics however. Have not heard from some of the other teachers yet as to what they are interested in. We want to let the teachers know that we want to get these things for them, we don’t want them to be afraid to ask!! All the teachers got $250 and $1500 worth of books for classrooms and $1000 for the library. Want to do a reading night on the book fair night. Have a bigger book fair night and a dinner on March 18th. Do the center hall for the reading night. We can give a gift certificate to the book fair for the raffle. We ran the math night from 5:30 - 7:30 and will run the same times for the reading night. Old Business -Super Teacher worksheets - we will not pair with Brookside -Technology - 30 iPads for the cart, 10 iPads for K, and 5 Chromebooks -We have bought 10 chromebooks but we have yet to see them. We are also waiting on the soccer nets, though we are waiting for the playground info to come back before moving forward. -We have a logo for walk-a-thon sponsored items. -Calling all Moms coming up. New Business -Dads day - Perhaps around St. Pattys “We’re lucky to have you” maybe with some shamrock cookies, etc. -Movie night - Honors kids will have their sign up tomorrow, so we will know how many to expect. If we have enough, we can do a drop off event. Big Hero Six will be the movie. -Book Fair - what are we gonna serve? We have done both nachos and spaghetti in the past. Walking tacos?? Our theme is something to do with music. We do not have to go through the school for the food. Nachos were a big hit last year. Ms. Kent may have an idea of how many we served. We did brownies for dessert last year, and it worked well. Let’s keep everything through the food service to keep things simple. -We have qualified for a premium book fair this time around, so it will be bigger. It worked really well to have library cancelled for the week last time, we will shoot for that again. -We will need to get the gym reserved and secure about 15 tables. -Recycle week in April: Going to put a reminder on the board for ink cartridges. We are also going to do smencils, and markers as well. What about recycled batteries?? -Walk-a-thon - Ms. Kent has brought up the idea of a Read-a-thon. Would it be a conflict with our initial “one ask”?? We don’t want to confuse parents and the community about our “one ask.” Should we consider a Buffalo Wild Wings night?? Emily will call them and set up a meeting with the BWWs person. Mrs. Scheible will get us a reliable contact. Does Pizza Hut do a Book It?? Amber will look into the Book It. These will maybe be a better approach for this years reading month. -We are also collecting Aunt Millie’s and Tysons labels. Next Meeting March 4th at 6:30! To instill in all Riverview students a healthy self-image, a love of learning and the desire to achieve their best in tomorrow's world. |
