Vice President report - Deanna Hendrich spoke about the Box Top program. An informational sheet will be sent home with your student. If your child brings in 50 box tops, they will get to be a HR “hero.” She also told us she will organize another “Sip and Clip,” which everyone is very excited about! She is also getting together a group to go over and help create the PTO bylaws. She will be emailing some people who volunteered and a meeting will be arranged in the next few weeks.
President’s report - Sarah Goth had asked in the last month for volunteers for a nominating committee for the PTO offices. No one has volunteered so she said we will just be finding individuals to fill the offices this year but hopefully next year we will have a proper committee. She also talked about a potential Earth Day Project of recycling. If anyone is interested in helping research ways our school can recycle, please see Sarah!
