1. Attendance: Linda Hardgrave & Cindy Pharis P.R.I.D.E., Charlie Bouzek Principal Freer/Liaison, Val Colombo NCADA, Dan Shaul Parent/WFPA, Roger Breer Parent/TREND, Hannah Gillaspie & Devon Sheets TREND students.
2. Old Business:
a. This was our winter skate night. Hannah and Devon came and helped collect money and then stayed the evening to help pass out flyers at the end. It was a great night. At the time these minutes are prepared I can report a $490.00 profit ($665.00 collected - $175.00 rental). Approximately 250 paid skaters.
b. Triva Night was a big success. Profit was $2234.43. Thanks to all of the donations from the district and community once again it was an event to remember. See Trivia Night Report..
c. Discussion was had about a couple of projects we have been working on.
1. Movie Night/Ice Cream Fundraiser – Planning is being done. Bounce St. Louis scheduled.
Fundraiser at Mary’s Sweet Shoppe being planned. Volunteers being recruiter for scoopers.
Windsor Elementary Gym has been reserved just in case of rain. Flyers will go out with a
schedule of scoopers so everyone knows who is working. Coupons will be copied and
handed out when the event gets closer. Everyone seems to be very excited about the movie
night and the ice cream scoop social.
2. The Kimmwick Wagon Parade is postponed until 2012 so there is ample time for good
planning.
3. School picnic & parade. P.R.I.D.E. will participate in parade, not sure about having a booth.
4. Secretary luncheon: Charlie is going to contact building principals to see if they will let all of
the secreataries have lunch at one time so we can cater lunch in one of the conference rooms,
otherwise will plan on box lunches to each building. Box lunches would be about $5.00, if
we had a meal it would be between $6-8 a person. The prices are from Chartwell’s. This is
going to be done on Administrative Professional Day April 27th.
5. Basketball Camp. Linda reported that she was contacted by Dr. Mayfield regarding whether
we were having camp again. Linda reported that we would most likely be. Dr. Mayfield has
a promotion going on in her chiropractic practice to raise funds for the basketballs. All in
attendance agreed that we definitely should do the camp again. Will await information about
summer school before setting dates. Will have to contact Cpt Magic also.
6. Maintenace Recognition: This was not brought up in discussion but maintenance works with
and help P.R.I.D.E. a lot. It is suggested that we get a tray of pastries to be taken to their
break/lunch room in recognition of their support of P.R.I.D.E. This would not cost very
much. We would go through Chartwell’s. Date needs to be set.
3. Other discussion items:
a. Officer Michaels, SRO, will be at the next meeting to address the tip-line, give some feedback if possible. There have been 11 tips this school year which is a larger amount that past years.
b. Draft budget will be presented at the next meeting for the remainder of this year and the start of the next school year.
c. There was no February meeting due to a snow day.
d. Frily and Miller are no longer doing day time assemblies. Charlie contacted principals to see if they would want to do an evening (family) event. He is waiting ot hear back from them. If this does not happen will have discussion about a Family P.R.I.D.E. Night Out with Frilly & Miller in the fall.
4. Next meeting – April 5, 2011 6:30 p.m., PDC room, 3rd grade IC.
