October Meeting Minutes

CWP MEETING MINUTES

October 2009

The meeting was called to order by Tinicea Schuttenberg at 6:00 pm at Central Elementary. 

 

Tinicea thanked everyone for coming.  

 

Valerie Howland said that the Circus tickets raised $162.00 for Central and a picture was taken with the CWP members and the Kiwanis members.

 

Donnie updated us on movie night. He stated that it was a very good turn out and we only spent $33.00 for the whole event.  What a wonderful time everyone had.

 

Donnie also updated us on the Signature fundraiser.  The total sales amount was $18,933.30.  Central will get to keep $9,500 to use for our goal items.  He also stated that Signature will be dropping off the orders on November 21, and they will take them off of the trucks and set them up for us. We will only need to be there to give to the parents when they come in and pick them up.

 

Donnie said that the Signature company will also be donating items for the fall festival.  What a great company!! Thank you Signature.

 

Next we talked about the different grade field trips.  We gave the kindergarteners $1010.00 which was $5.00 per child.  The 1st graders still had not decided on where they were going for their field trip. The second grade is going to the Magic House and the cost is unknown.  The third graders are going to the Science Center and the cost is unknown at this time as well.

 

Kasey Straatmann talked about the room parent meeting.  She said that it went well.  All parents were given their folders and everyone that had questions were able to ask.  It should be a good year of fun parties.  

 

Michelle Pruitt talked about the Angle Tree program.  Students will be able to get a angel on November 11 & 12.  Drop off will be December 2 &3 and NO Gift cards allowed this year.  All angels will be given a present.

 

Trivia Night will be January 23rd.  Amber Eads and Tyann Marcink will be chairing that event.  There will be 50/50 raffles, teacher auctions and the goal is to raise enough money for the 1st and 3rd grade field trips in the Spring.

 

Sally Brock has volunteered to help the teachers with copying and mail on Wed. & Friday's.  Thanks Sally!!

 

The school was wonderful and said that as long as the CWP provides the paper we can use their copier for printing all the newsletters that go out to the students.  This will save the CWP a lot of money this year.

 

Lastly, Donnie talked about the Fall Festival.  It will be October 23, from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m.  The cost will be $1.00 per child ages 2 and up.  The cake walk and the pumpkin raffle will be $.50 each.  All other activities, games, food and drinks will be free of charge. The goal is for a family fun night and not a fundraiser. Donnie mentioned that a lot of businesses were donating items and that we were getting wonderful support from the community. 

 

Donnie also asked the teachers to purchase a pumpkin and have the class to decide what to carve.  The teacher will then carve the pumpkin and that pumpkin will be raffled off at the fall festival.  The class that wins will receive half of the winnings. 

 

Parents were thanked for attending the meeting.
