Committee Reports
Room Parties – Kathy Berry reported on plans for the Halloween parties, still needs some volunteers in some classrooms, will send out a request via the e-mail list. Many people want to donate supplies but not enough people want to come in and be there for the parties. We need to let people know that it’s not scary to be in the classroom during these parties.
 
Hospitality – Angie Stoewer reported on plans to furnish snacks during parent teacher conference day.

Scrip – Karl Sila reported that there is still time to order scrip, the deadline is Friday, so no numbers to report yet

Float – Darren Sampson reported on the float building day. The Sampsons did a lot of prep work, and will do the final assembly Friday morning. 15 fifth graders (14 girls, one boy) and 5 parents showed up to help, the kids did artwork and thought up slogans. The kids worked really well together. A trailer was donated, but was in violation of a town ordinance concerning parking, a temporary waiver was obtained. Still need 10 bales of hay, can be borrowed and returned. There are some leads on the hay. Come to the parade and check out the float, there is a surprise addition we can’t tell you about yet!

New Business
Motion: To reimburse the Sampsons for any money spent above the float budget. (approximate cost: $12) Motion passed.

Meeting adjourned 7:20.
