January Meeting Recap
Class Parties
100th Day of School party coming up January 31st from 2:45-3:45
Box Tops
Check has been received from first submission
Rewards for box top submission will be Pizza/Suckers
Family Events
Muffins with Ma’ams: All went well. Selling apparel at the event was successful. Fewer drink choices made line go faster. Having Santa Shop open was profitable.
Donuts with Dudes: will be March 31st
EOY BBQ/Art Show: We discussed using Chris Cakes for this event. They charge a small fee per plate, will charge us for mileage and require only a few volunteers. We will need a few volunteers to take money for the art.
Hospitality
Hot Chocolate bar was provided for teachers as a holiday gift.
Teacher Appreciation Week will be May 4-8
Fundraising
Santa Shop: Being open during Muffins w Ma’ams was successful. It would have been better if we had been set up to accept cards during that shopping time. We discussed better coordinating the shopping schedule for students with volunteers. Some volunteers didnt have any kids come through. We could better use our volunteer pool if we scheduled them more efficiently.
Mod Pizza: Profit not clear at this time
APEX: 88% of funds have been collected
Papa Johns: continues monthly
