MANNFORD PTO
Meeting Minutes  -  10/23/14
  • The meeting was called to order by Patti Nelson
  • Handouts:  Meeting agenda, treasurer’s report, bi-laws & Roberts meeting rules
  • Minutes from the September meeting were reviewed.
  • The Treasurer’s report was reviewed and approved.
  • Angie Macias was thanked for coordinating the homecoming float.
OLD BUSINESS
  • Nurse Jill explained her request for a new eye chart and informational material for kids with medical issues (diabetes, ADHD, Asthma, etc).  Expense was approved.
  • Carrie Gustafson reported there were 17 sessions booked for the fundraiser with Kindred Spirits Photography.   She presented the PTO with a check for the proceeds and the PTO issued a check to cover the cost of advertisement.
  • Fright Night was cancelled due to the lack of available volunteers on Halloween.  Will consider having it next year.
  • The T-shirt order has been picked up however there are some issues with missing and mismarked sizes.  Patti will follow-up.
  • Lainey Chailer volunteered to help co-chair the scholarship run on March 28th.  Jenifer Maxville also volunteered to help.
  • Lori White volunteered to chair the committee for the ‘End of School Bash’.  Discussed possibly of having it on the last Movie Night date, May 15th.
  • Discussed having a “Pennies for the Playground’ fundraiser in the spring to raise money for the Upper Elementary playground project.  Patti will schedule a meeting with the Principal to discuss the project and get details of what needs to be done in order to establish the cost of the project.  School Board approval is still needed for the fundraiser.
  • Traci McKnight volunteered to research other schools that make back to school supplies available for parents to preorder for the next school year.  By ordering in bulk the project would hopefully save parents money as well as the time it takes to shop for supplies.
  • Teacher’s Lounge Renovations -  In order to understand the scope of this project each school will be asked to provide a list of needed improvements for each lounge.  Patti Nelson will make the requests.
NEW BUSINESS
  • A limit of $60 was approved to purchase pumpkins for a middle school math class.
  • Mrs. Woods request for books was filled by a parent. No action needed.
  • The signup sheet for November movie night was circulated but no volunteers signed up.  Help is needed because 3 of the regular movie night volunteers will not be there on November 21st.
  • Angie Macias suggested advertising PTO fundraiser products on the PTO blog along with fundraisers from school organizations.  One stop shopping for Pirate apparel, etc.  Angie will check into using Paypal for payment.  The proposal was approved.
