September Meeting Minutes

CWP MEETING MINUTES
SEPTEMBER 1, 2009

The meeting was called to order by Tyann Marcink at 6:10 pm at Central Elementary.

Tyann opened the meeting by introducing herself co-chair, Tinicea Schuttenberg co-chair, Amanda Bequette secretary, and Julie Duvall treasurer.

Dr. Stephens said hello and stated that this meeting had the biggest turn out from any other meeting.

Tyann went over how the CWP blog worked and what information would be posted on it. Items likes meeting minutes, meeting dates, activities, activity dates, activity chairs, and many more items.

Tyann also stated that the first CWP newsletter went out with the students and said that all newsletters will be sent home with the children each month. The letters will be printed on red paper so parents will know that it is from the CWP. These letters will be sent out on Fridays per the teachers requests.

Tinecia talked about the TREND program. We would like to have them come to our CWP meetings and provide a daycare like setting to watch our children during the meetings. This will help us run the meetings more smoothly and also help the club get their required volunteer time.

Amber Eads spoke regarding the CCT and room parents. CCT will not be picking the room parents. It was decided by both the teachers and CWP to have the teachers pick the parent(s). Amber will update the form so that it will resemble the new CWP and not the old PTO and hopefully the parents will look at it more carefully. On September 15, at 6:00 pm the CWP will get together and put the room parents packets together.

Dr. Stephens talked about the field trips for this year. The field trips are picked by the teachers and not the CWP. The field trips will align with the class curriculum.

Julie went over the budget. We have around $6,200 to work with until our Signature fundraiser is complete. It was decided that we will give each grade $5.00 per student to cover costs of the field trips. We will adjust the number of students as needed for each grade level.

The teachers will still be getting $125.00 per teacher to help with classroom items from the CWP.
Tracy went over movie night. It will be on September 11, 2009 at Central Elementary. The movie is free, but movie goers can purchase snacks. The movie will be Everyone's Hero and the theme is baseball so all should wear their baseball attire.

Tyann mentioned that we should have someone to do the public relations regarding all activities that the CWP will be doing and Donnie Schuttenberg volunteered for this.

Nicki Voss stated that library volunteers are needed. The office and teachers also need help so anyone interested please call the school and talk with her.

We had a representative from the Kiwanis's club talk about the circus coming up October 11 and mentioned a easy way to sell tickets and raise money for the school. The CWP has agreed that this would be a great way to raise money.

Donnie talked about the new fundraiser for Central. It is called Signature and we will start selling Friday September 4. It will be a 50% profit on what we sell and the Signature company will take care of all the deliveries and have everything set up for our parents to pick up. The money due date will be September 23 and the pick up date for the items will be October 21.

Donnie also noted that he will be calling parents to start on getting the fall festival going.

There will be a trivia night January 23 and Tyann will be chair this event.

Tyann thanked everyone for coming and the meeting was over at 7:30 pm.
