NEW BUSINESS
PTA
PTA is now official. Must be registered by
October meeting to vote. Paula St.Laurent is
the membership coordinator.
Welcome Back Packets
Welcome packets were distributed the second week
of school. The packets contained PTA
information, Volunteer form, Events list, box
Tops information, PTA registration form, and
Student Directory Information.
Building Fees
Budget cuts resulted in 1 janitor. We have to
hire a janitor for all after hour school
functions. $35.00 an hour on weekdays and
$70.00 an hour on weekends. 2 hour minimum
required. Friday night is a weekday rate.
We would need at least 6 hour for 1 event.
We will need to either increase the $ of tickets
to events to cover the janitor or pay it from
the PTA funds which will result in less $ to
donate to the classrooms.
Fall Fundraiser
Kick off on 10/1 with Yankee Candle. Becky
needs volunteers to help with pick up/delivery
during PT Conferences. Merchandise will not be
left in the lobby.
Fall Festival
Gail is waiting to hear back from the rink with
definite dates.
PTA Membership
Motion was made and seconded for PTA Membership
fee of $4.00 per person for the school year.
Grade Level Fundraiser
Looking to change from grade level baskets.
Suggestion of monthly calendar similar to Little
League. Sell calendars through December and
pull daily in January. $5.00 for one calendar.
Sell 1 per student and we would make more $ than
grade level baskets last year. Winners would be
contacted via phone and announced in the Briggs
At Large. Set a table up at Bring a Loved One
to Lunch, PT conferences and Holiday Concert to
sell calendars.
A motion was made and seconded to replace grade
level baskets with the Calendar Sale. Chair
Person (s) needed.
Donations
We want to keep 60% in the account and donate
40% to the grade levels and specials. $300.00
to grade levels and $150 to specials.
$1800 = 6 grades and $750 = 5 specials.
Total of $2550 leaving a little over $8k.
Life Cycle of a Butterfly
Motion was made and seconded to approve payment
of $200.00 for the 2nd and 5th
grade presentation, “Life Cycle of a Butterfly”.
Health Presentation
Motion was made and seconded to approve payment
of $1125.00 for the “Slim Good Body”
presentation to be seen by the entire school. 1
day = 2 presentations
Fast Forward
The printer in the fast forward program is
broken. Fast Forward is requesting $130.00 to
replace the broken printer. The printer
provides reports to parents and teachers of
enrolled students. Motion was made and seconded
to provide $130.00 to the fast forward program
for a new printer.
Life Skills
Life Skills replaced the RISE program. Request
was submitted for $500.00 to fund a presentation

Motion was made and seconded to provide $500.00
to Life skills for bully presentation.
