Switch names on BJ’s card and get cards from previous board members Toya Clark and Bridgette Hardney.
Speak with Mr. Selmon and Mrs. Grainger-Smith to see who our school’s partners will be. Will those partners be shared with PTA or should we obtain partners that are exclusive to PTA?
Present school partners are RaceTrac and Sysco. Will check into Chick Fil A, Kroger, and WalMart.
Future executive board meetings will be held on Thursdays from 5 – 6 p.m. Hardeman will check into free conference calls for us to utilize as necessary. Next Executive Board meeting, August 4, 2015 in Kennedy’s classroom.
Executive Board expectations for communication which are to be typed up and given to ALL Executive Board members present and future.
- When sending emails, cc everyone
- Respond to emails or texts when received, at least to say you received it
- When sending a text send group texts as opposed to texting each person individually so as to have all members be on one accord on all points.
Proposed Activities/Dates for the School Year
- Etiquette Class (Boys and Girls) – 1/14, 1/28, 2/11 from 3:00 – 4:00 Etiquette class will culminate with a brunch or dance (2/20/16) where they will be able to display their newly learned skills. Admission will be $5.00 per person, and we will decorate with ½ price decorations from Valentine’s Day sales.
- Just Dance – 11/13/15 – Admission is a canned food item that PTA will donate to the school. Refreshments will be sold inside by PTA.
- Fall Festival - Date TBA, must speak with Grainger-Smith
- Teacher Appreciation – May?
- Welcome (Teachers) – Sneak Peak, Screen on the Green movie right after Sneak Peak at 6:30, can sell popcorn and drinks or give if they purchase membership on that day. Hardeman not sure if we can spend money on that since budgeted monies are to be spent on teacher. From looking at line item in budget and per Treasurer’s meeting at conference, if line item doesn’t specifically state a name it could potentially still be used. We will confirm with Annie Gist as we don’t want to spend money incorrectly.
- Scavenger Hunt – Easter 3/25/16 – Donations of plastic eggs and bags of candy will be requested from parents and partners. PTA will sell food at this event.
- Around the World (Multicultural) Celebrations - Panda Express will provide food paid for by PTA
