4. President’s Report

We have been working on implementing all of the ideas that were talked about at the last general PTO meeting. “Penny Wars” is in the stage of how it will work in the classrooms. And what the volunteers will need to do in order to run smoothly. Who will benefit from this fundraising and how can we reward the classroom. We are also getting gloves and hats to sell at the school store as a representation of spiritwear. As per our last meeting we discussed how to help out the families in our school community. Some students received assistance with the book fair and Harvest festival and the School store will now offer a “pay it forward” option where families can donate the change from their order to help assist families who want to participate in the school store.
