Holy Angels CPTA Meeting

Minutes

May 17, 2017

  1. Call meeting to order: Clair Luna

***Ashley Muro filled in for Clair

  1. Opening prayer: Blanca Scofield
  1. President’s report: Clair Luna

***Ashley read Clair’s report: Jog-a-thon and Grandparents day worked well together. Kudo’s to committees.

**The postponement of the Mother/Son event shows the importance of getting events on the calendar at the beginning of the school year.

***CPTA positions have been broken up into different categories. First: executive board, second: fundraising positions, third: standing committees (example: grandparents day, mother/daughter event, etc; lastly: volunteer opportunities (examples include bulletin boards, hospitality, uniform exchange). This last category will NOT be receiving 30 hours of service. If you choose to attend each monthly meeting you will receive a service hour for that meeting. Only the executive board will meet every month and the standing committee and volunteer opportunity would meet the month that you have an event or something to report. This is new so there will be a learning curve.

***Committee binders are going digital through google docs. Melanie Savarese.

  1. Committee reports:
  1. After action report Jog-a-thon, April 28: Jeff and Melanie Savarese

***It was a success. Changes this year included the per lap pledge, t-shirts, commercial competition. The music needs to be improved for next year.

***Close to $24,000.00 was brought in. Goal was $30,000.00. 92 kids had no participation other than what the parent contract called for. Discussion about how to improve that for next year. Trying to level the “playing field” for most laps/highest donations to determine winners.

***Close to $2,000.00 was donated via Gesture. Some grandparents donated on the day since they were there for Grandparents Day.

  1. After action report Grandparents Day, April 28: Sara Bitonti, Kimerlee Hernandez
