keep their position.

and Terri Johnson seconded the motion.

Budget Report: Dawn Dorsch said the revenue is on track however, we may need

to do a small fundraiser or something in May; ideas would be Fort Fun family

Box Tops: Jane said the contest is doing really well. And would like to

suggest for next time to have the children count them & put in baggies with

total counts! It is taking extra time to get labels off the sheets. We need to

have them turned in by February 28th. Mr. Evan's class won the pizza party for

the 5th and 6th grades contest. Total colleted was 726.

Valentines Party: Kim Miller said that everything was underway. Ruth had a

concern for the menu that the homeroom parents were putting together, since we

are to be eating healthier. May be getting some ideas from the Wellness

Committee on ideas for Valentines party and Birthday Party's. It does take time

to get everybody to focus on eating healthier.

event between Program Energy and. PTO. Both donated $125 each to fund the

event. We would like them to come back again, they need to be invited or they

bank and also collecting money for Empty Bowls they have collected $368.16.

there total to $460.19.

Used book sale they are having is a good turn out for donations. They will

be selling the books to raise money to adopt a school in the Katrina area.

maintain a relationship with that school and maybe having pin pal's in the

future.

Tavelli. It is during lunch time from 12:30 to 1:15, Can meet any day of the

week, Suggest Monday are best day but can pick what will work for the
