ISATs coming up, PTO to provide food for the teachers: Tues. breakfast - bagels and fruit; Wed. lunch – to be a surprise; Thurs. Chocolate fondue and the trimmings. Engineer in the classroom competes Sat (2/25) at Lanphier. An excellent program. Got with Brad to put something down on the ground to be able to get to the playground. Its been to muddy. Per Theresa Gegen (motion approved unanimously) PTO will pay for a sidewalk to the playground. L. Lundin to take this
to Brad and Dr. Bertrand for final approval. T. Gegen will talk with a contact also. Proposed PTO schedule for the upcoming year tentatively approved.

III. Treasurer’s Report: Sally Cray
The ending balance is still looking good, may need to make another payment to the district (for the playground). Winter Carnival (unintentionally) made a small profit. Motion to put the classroom basket profit into the classroom incentives, unanimously approves. Any leftover profit to go to building the sidewalk to the playground, approved. Motion to raise the classroom incentive to $300.00 approved. N. Harpring requested a Special Ed line item incentive – unanimously approved. M. Lezon made a request for PBIS incentive, TBD.

IV. Book Fair: Heidi Ramsey
Winter Book Fair was a huge success. More than $7,000.00 in sales. Our scholastic dollars are now over $9,000.00. This will go right back into the school. A wish list for Mrs. Diehl has already been ordered. All teachers, including special ed and special will be receiving scholastic dollars to order what they wish for their classroom. Final amount to be approved by L. Lundin. Details to follow.

V. Winter Carnival : Theresa Gegen
Photo booth was great, next year it will be more prominent. Possibility of “selling space” to outside vendors, i.e. “football moms” was mentioned, TBD, It was decided next year No parents will be allowed IN the cake walk. Next year all monetary activities will be together, probably in the 5th grade hall with book fair. Next year slushies and popcorn will be no charge. If student council does not want to sell soda next year, may possibly offer it to FPS. We need more garbage cans at the stations. Discussed the possibility of a Saturday carnival and splitting it up into 2 sessions. This will be discussed further before a decision is made.

VI. PTO Board: Theresa Gegen
We need to make decisions on the board for next year. All current board members have agreed to stay on if there in no  other interest. We will have something going out in the announcements if anyone is interested in a leadership role to please contact PTO at rocketpto@gmail.com.

Meeting adjourned. Next meeting March 13, 2012 at RIS in the library
