  • Playground improvement for Middle School - The middle school has requested the PTO purchase 2 picnic tables for their playground. Mr. Anderson decided he would like to purse installing disc golf baskets instead of a picnic table. Chris will pursue getting approval and pricing information. Chris received approval from the administration office and maintenance department. He will check into purchasing options. Ike (facilities maintenance) has approved the locations. Chris will check with the AG teacher to see if they can manufacture the baskets. UPDATE: Chris has not heard back from the Ag teacher, he will follow up with him.
  • Campbell’s Soup Labels – Bins have been placed in the office and teacher’s lounge at the lower elementary. Their website announced the program is ending, we need to submit what we have by April 30th so the school can receive their items before the program ends this summer. UPDATE: Traci will round up the labels and distribute a note to students about the end of this program.
  • Tax Exempt Status for PTO – We approved to spend $500 or less to obtain tax exempt status for the PTO. Patti and Traci will work on getting the application submitted. Jenifer will working on getting the Amazon fundraiser setup after the tax exempt status is approved. Update: The application is complete and will be given to Kindra to sign and mail.
  • Back-to-School Supplies – Patti Nelson – patticakes919@gmail.com 918-633-1511. The PTO is planning to pre-sell school supplies for the 2016-2017 school year for PK thru 5th grade. Update: We have approximately 2 sponsors per grade. It was approved for the PTO to sponsor one item on each list using the supplies we already have and purchasing whatever else is needed.
  • Busy Bars - Traci McKnight –mcknight.traci@yahoo.com 918-804-9924. Three busy bars have been installed in Melissa Cavenah’s classroom and have been very successful in helping the kids stay seated and focus on their work. Traci and Jenifer will install two more. We will develop a plan to complete all the desks in Mrs. Cavenah’s classroom and then figure out how we proceed to other classrooms that request the bars. The flower sale will help pay for some of the materials but more funding will be needed. We also need an implementation plan to make and install the busy bars on a large scale. Asking for Masons for help is a possibility. Traci will contact Glen Almay or Tyler Buttram.
Fundraising
  • Movie Night Patti Nelson – UPDATE: No Movie Night was held in March due to school being out 3 Fridays that month. The next movie night is April 1st – The Chipmunks – Road Chip.
  • Sales - Patti Nelson – patticakes919@gmail.com 918-633-1511
Sale prices: All T-shirts $10, Hoodies $20. Several shirts were sold at the watermelon feed and first football game. Traci McKnight volunteered to come up with new shirt designs to sell after the first of the year. Update: T Shirt sales were discussed in length. The question is do we really want to compete with the T-shirt sales in the area since we don’t really have a place to sell them. Chris volunteered to talk to Traci Dodd (Okie T-shirts) about printing our design and possibly giving the PTO a percentage of the profit and maybe selling shirts at our PTO booth at football games. More to follow. Traci volunteered to make a sign for the bags at the MAC, there is not one currently.
  • Fundraising Ideas: Kindra will research selling license plates. Chris will check into getting caps to sell. Chris suggested we consider selling beanie hats, possibly ordering this summer to catch special pricing?
  • Ice Cream Social - Traci McKnight –mcknight.traci@yahoo.com 918-804-9924. Fundraiser for the middle school, possibly early March. Chris Greenert will talk to the student council sponsor about the event. We could pre-sell tickets and have extra concessions available. It was also suggested we ask Braums for ice cream donations. The student council has agreed to help. The social will be Friday April 8th from 6pm to 8pm at the middle school cafeteria. Pricing needs to be established. Update: We approved ticket prices as follows – $5 advanced tickets - $8 at the door. Chris will sell the advanced tickets and distribute flyers. Traci will buy the supplies a day or two before the dance when we have an idea on how many kids to expect. Roxy volunteered to help get inexpensive toppings from Aldi. Chris will arrange for music, Traci will setup selfie booths.
NEW BUSINESS
  • Fun Run/Walk for KidsNurse Jill discussed helping the PTO sponsor a fun walk similar to the one held in 2013 for Juvenile Diabetes as a fundraiser. She said it was a fun event and raised approximately $1600. We would need to pick a date in the fall before football scrimmages start and the purpose for the fundraiser. More discussion needed.
  • Teachers Appreciation Week - The first week of May. It was approved to buy a $5 gift for the teachers and provide cookies or donuts for all school personnel sometime that week.
THINGS TO REMEMBER
  • Amazon Fundraiser – Jennifer will check into creating an account for PTO. UPDATE: This project is on hold until the Tax Exempt Status is reviewed.
  • Fundraiser – School spirit Flip Flops – Jenifer Maxville Jenifer found a website that makes custom decorated flip flops and we discussed possibly using this as a fundraiser for next year. According to the website, some schools make $10 to $15 per pair sold. We also discussed the possibility of just using purple pirates and selling to Bristow as well. It was decided we would wait until early spring to distribute order forms. Keep on things to remember until someone has the time to coordinate.
  • Upper Elementary Playground – Patti Nelson – patticakes919@gmail.com – 918-633-1511
Money has been set aside for the last 3 years to improve the playground at the upper. If the school doesn’t want any improvements made to the playground the PTO will decide how to spend the money allocated for this project. On hold pending the availability of bond money.
  • Pirate Chest/PTO Blog – Angie Macias - landbrokerlady@gamil.com – 918-284-3042. Angie has been posting fundraisers for the PTO and other organizations. Please contact her if you have any requests for the PTO Pirate Chest.
