Progress on New Ideas

  • Elementary Yearbook (Melanie Bonacci)
  • Administration expressed interest in this project over winter break, but it is too late in the year to execute this project (Yearbook needs to be completed and ordered in March).Will put yearbook on future fundraiser/project list for next year due to level of interest.
  • Buddy Bench
  • Discussed this idea and Boy Scouts willingness to make a bench. Dr. Johnson stated that elementary school already has plenty of benches so this idea will not be pursued at this time.

New Wants/Needs/Ideas

  • Dr. Johnson discussed 50/50 Grant that FC Schools could probably apply for to help defray cost for finishing elementary school Playground flooring. Total cost to finish playground flooring tiles is $70,000. Dr. Johnson will look into grant and the possibility of city keno money and PFE funds to cover the cost.
  • FC Elementary preschool needs a outdoor shed to store wagons, balls, and tricycles so all of this equipment does not have to be hauled outside everyday and will free up some much needed space into eh classroom. Dr. Johnson will look into this and touch base with MR. Wagner and Mrs. Royuk about this need.

Questions/Concerns/Open Floor

  • Thank you to Megan Johnson and Devon Ellis for providing childcare for our PFE meeting today!
