Dec 4th Minutes
Attendence: Erica Burns, Tara Cloutier, Maureen Ryan.
*note* Due to the small number of attendance, no decisions were made even though meeting quorum was met. We did discuss the following items:
1. Treasurer’s Report
- a. Budget /funds update: PTO total $3587.09, Art 191.64
- i. Of that, approx $1600 is left for field trips and $650 designated for outstanding Scholastic News invoice. Maureen mentioned that Nancy Putnam had a grant for some of this and would look into it. If available we would pay a remainder amount.
- b. Butter Braid update-we raised a profit of $2032.80
- c. Reimbursements/requests- a request was asked about for the fish to get new filters, but was tabled until next time
- d. New treasurer- Chris mentioned about wanting to step down from treasurer so we are looking for someone interested in taking over. We mentioned the possibility of Dina & Kevin doing this jointly. Erica will discuss it with them.
- a. Dec 5th Book fair/math night-we finalized some details about what was needed for this event. Set up will start a 3:00/3:30 and clean will commence immediately following event. Tara said she might be able to get NHS kids to help.
- b. Upcoming fundraisers
- i. Flower bulbs/fudge? Jan 28th-Feb 8th- uncertain of whether or not we were able to go for the fudge we filled out the fundraiser request form anyway, with a backup idea of doing a “green” fundraiser if it doesn’t get approved. Tara has a company she has worked with in the past and will get the info to Erica.
- ii. Original works (Mar 18-29th?) Chris who is coordinating this wasn’t in attendence
- c. Coins for coats Week of Feb 10th- briefly discussed that this was a good week for it

- e. Set dates
- i. Spring bookfair - tabled
- ii. Dance- discussed the idea of not doing it, or having different format. tabled
