PTO Minutes January 22, 2008

Attendance: Robin Soffer, Janet Hanley, Mary McCabe, Barb Nelson, John Allen, Don Vogel, Kay Foran, Nancy Wolfe, Teri Dixon, Tee Moran, Cheryl Williams.

• 1. Nancy Wolfe - Student Driver Magnets
  Nancy introduced the idea of selling signs that say "student driver" so that when parents take their student drivers out practicing, other drivers would understand that the car was being driven by a new driver. Nancy developed the idea of making a student driver magnet which could go on the family car when the student is driving. Nancy bought 100 of these magnets for $2.60 each and suggested the PTO could sell them as both a service and a fund raiser. We agreed to sell these for $5.00. Nancy will attend Drivers Ed meeting to sell them next week.


• 2. John Allen - Board of Education report.
  First meeting/workshop on resolutions scheduled for this Saturday, starting at 9am, in the OPRF board room. The Board is looking for a facilitator. Mary McCabe volunteered to be a facilitator.


• 3. Kay Foran and Don Vogel - District Decision and Appeals Process
  Kay and Don provided some written information about the process. (See attached.) Don explained the process and answered questions.


• 4. Secretary's report-Robin Soffer
  November minutes were approved.


• 5. Treasurer's report-Janet Hanley
  We currently have $9,000 in the bank. The PTO owes the school $3.898 right now and will owe more as the departments apply for their reimbursement for allocations. We will need the money from Theatre benefit to pay all our obligations to school.
  
• We agreed to sell directories and calendars at Drivers Ed meeting next week.


• 6. Post Prom.
  Barb explained that letters to junior and senior parents explaining the program and letters to the community to raise money for the post prom are going out. We will have a report next month.


• 7. Theatre Benefit
• The show is Crazy for You. The theme is "Crazy for Kids". Solicitations to the business community are being mailed tomorrow. Invitations will go out around February 1. The fundraiser will be a dinner. The cost will be $40 per person for dinner and the theater ticket.


• We discussed how best to publicize this event. Mary and Teri offered to share the flyer with PTO members at the Brooks. Teri agreed to attempt to contact the Julian PTO.
