Box Tops (Brandy H)

Received our first deposit earlier this school year for approximately $400.00. We are currently pending a payment for $313.70. Another submission will be sent in this summer and the check should arrive this fall. Mr. Twyman will see if there is a way to show the movie school wide in the classrooms.

Financial Report

Spring Fling netted a profit of $20.80. Photos were a big hit with the kids. A suggestion was made to get a sign next year that reads “sponsored by the PTA”.

There is still an outstanding bill for the food for the Leader in Me Conference. We are also still expecting payment from some attendees.

There are checks paid to Cumberland Trace and McNeil for our teachers to attend their Leader in Me Conference. Those checks are not included in this month’s financial report.

Mr. Twyman would like to build up the Leader in Me Fund to host events and send our teachers to events. This would more than likely be a break even fund, not a big money maker.

Balance reported was $11,923.90.
