We discussed arrangements for a checking account for Site Council, possible house-specific DonorsChoose or GoFundMe drives and the likelihood of support with the upcoming referendum vote. We also reviewed events/activities from last year and new ideas for this year, combining with existing school events wherever possible to maximize family engagement. Principal Blessington shared highlights from the Hawk Classic fundraiser. October minutes
