*FUNDRAISER/COMMITTEE EVENTS UPDATE

Beefsteak Dinner –It was a success and DJ Dave was fantastic! Shannon made $1,610.00. Lori S. donated drinks and Stacy donated center pieces. PTO still owes Stacy for tablecloths and paper goods.

Gertrude Hawk – Sale is ongoing. Dana Paseler is handling it. Orders are due back Feb. 24th.

Cookbook Fundraiser/ Voting for Cover - The goal is to have the cookbook done by Easter, however, may have to consider putting it off until Easter due to low recipe input. In order to have company printthe cookbooks, we must sell 100 of them. That doesn't look promising so we may have to look into printing them on our own. Stacy will post on FB and send emails to FTS staff to ask for recipe contribution. Marta won the cover contest and will get $15 to spend at the Spring book fair.

Afterschool Clubs –Makerspace has been rescheduled to make up for cancellation.
