  • Todd is working on a communication strategy, survey will go out to parents soon.
 
NEW BUSINESS
Super Games - current rental is $2,500, Super Games is $4,000. $1,500 more for a more reliable company for games and they also staff the games, meaning we would need to rely on less volunteers. Nick will gather firm pricing information and we will consider this option.

Clippers Game $459, no line item for that. Should we count that as a new grant, consensus is yes.Motion to approve the grant - grant is passed. We may want to add this in as a line item, if we are able to and a special field trip for 5th graders.
​
Attended Kindergarten Info Night and PTO was able to hand out flyers to new parents.
