Treasury Report: Lara highlighted that we spent over $12,000 on school improvements and teacher appreciation this year. We are expecting a check from Bashas for $2000 and one from Fry’s for $500. We have more earned from Fry’s – but they only pay in $500 increments. We should have another check of approx $650 coming from Boxtops.
Family Game night was a success. We discussed the event and
made a few suggestions for the next one such as only holding the pizza time to
˝ hour and starting the games a little earlier. Music would have been nice too.
We don’t have all the receipts in for this event – but we covered our costs and
everyone had fun – which was the goal. The next one will be on May 5th
– pizza from 6-6:30 and Bingo from
