July Meeting Notes

News from Central Wildcat Pride...

The Central Wildcat Pride met on July 13th here at Central.

Thing that were discussed:

Open House dates
Aug. 17tt from 5 to 6:30 pm k and 1st grade- 6:30 to 8pm 2nd and 3rd grade.
(ice cream or cookies?) Parents serve so teachers can mingle and rotate to work in their rooms.
We are looking for parents that would be interested in serving during part of this time. Please reply if you are interested in helping out.

Signature Fundraising group will have samples at Open House.

Room Parents - Teachers will be in charge of getting and working with their room parents.

Fundraisers - Choices, dates and spending
The CWP held one major fundraise last year using Signature Fundraising Source. We are going to do this same fundraiser this fall. We would like to add playground equipment to the small playground in the back of Central.

LAST YEAR- these are the activities that were held 1st semester and who the contact were for the activity. Those people will be asked if they would like to “head” it up again, but we are ALWAYS LOOKING FOR HELP.

Movie Night - Traci Canby- has agreed to head this up again this year.
Fall Festival - Donnie Schuttenberg and Krista Stranghoener
Signature Fundraiser - Donnie Schuttenberg
Angel Tree - Michelle Prewitt and Lisa Braun
Holiday Boutique - Kasey Straatmann, Valerie Howland, and Amanda Bequette

We will look at 2nd semester activates as we get closer to that time.

Communication - We will send an agenda email before meeting and notes from the meeting after they are done. The Facebook and blog will be available if someone wants to keep it up.

Goals!
All activates need to be for families - cheap if not free
We will not have co-chairs persons. We will continue with activity chairs.
Dates for meeting - the first Tuesday of each month at 6:30.
Money for teachers to use for their classrooms - in the past we have given $125 for classroom teachers and $200 for special teachers - this will continue.
