· Snack shack discussed. Teacher conflict was resolved as discussed in previous meetings, still ok with Fridays at 12:30-2pm. Lori will need to work on the sign-up sheet for volunteers. A PTO member brought up the legality of snack shack given new legislation, related to the types of snacks present. Kim Garde will research and report back on this issue.
President, Alison Ryan
