Committee reports:

Dana Marsh sent in her report on teacher appreciation week.

Teacher Appreciation Week is coming up in May and I wanted to give everyone a heads up on ideas as well as hear any ideas from the committee.  First of all, I was planning on having a quick "one time only" meeting on Tuesday, March 27th at Hy-vee (cafe area) right  after drop-off around 8:30.  Let me know either way via e-mail   (mattanddana@cox.net) or phone call (431-1561) if you can make it.  I know some of you work and this isn't a great time....however we are  all sooooo busy this time of year I really don't want to take any of  your family time in the evening.

So I was trying to mix things up this year and come up with some new ideas.......IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS LET ME KNOW.....if you hate any of  the ideas also let me know

New business:

Betsy Ross requested $500 for art supplies and tools to support student art.  A motion was given and carried to do so.

Amy McAuliffe asked for support to do a refreshment stand during the intermission of the St. Patrick’s musical. A motion was offered and it carried to give $100 to subsidize refreshments.

Bylaws will be posted to our Web site and notice given to everyone for review. There are committee items that need to be adjusted as our group has evolved.

Old business: none
