Home & School Meeting - November 23rd at 7 pm

Please join us tomorrow for the Home & School meeting at 7 pm.  Free child care is available in the Kinder rooms.  We have a number of topics to cover tomorrow including final review and voting on our budget.  Agenda for the meeting is below:

1. Welcome and Introductions
2. Principal Mary Anne Davis’ report
• Mary Anne will not be in attendance at this month’s meeting. Her report will be delivered by one of the Co-Chairs.
3. Further Discussion and decisions of how to spend the money raised during the 2009-10 year.
• Last year, the Home and School Association raised substantially more funds than the average year mostly due to the McMusic Fundraising evening. This month’s meeting will focus on finalizing the decisions about how those additional funds (approximately $13,000) should be allocated . There will be time for discussion and then decisions will be made by parents who attend this meeting.
• The teacher representative at the meeting (or the Co-Chairs on behalf of the teachers), will bring forward the teachers’ thoughts and ideas as to where funds could be spent to help the school.
• Some ideas that were floated at the last meeting were: musical instruments, computers, sports equipment, a digital projector for the gym, seed money for the garden project, and the 100th year anniversary (2012). Each of these ideas will be revisited at this meeting.
• There are many ways that the funds could be spent.
• Please join us at the next meeting to share your ideas.   ALL PARENTS ARE WELCOME TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS DISCUSSION.  After the options are discussed, a vote will take place to make final decisions.
4. Other business
