á      No Report.

 

5th Grade Luncheon-Anne Dutelle

 

á      Anne brought a request of $140 in additional funding for the event in order to pay the custodial fees for opening the building on Sunday so that the decorating can be done.  Since the event is on Monday, and due to other scheduling, this is the only time that decorating can be done.  There is still money in the existing budget, but all of the receipts have not been submitted yet.  This would be a contingency budget and may not all be used.

á      Anne made a motion for the luncheon committee to receive $140 if needed, for custodial fees only and for this year only.

á      Karen Normington seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the decision was unanimous in favor of providing the additional funds for this exclusive purpose and for this year only.

Mrs. MontoneŐs class won the ice cream party for collecting the most Box Tops.  The children all had a wonderful time.  All Box Tops collected now will be for next yearŐs submissions.

á       Soup Labels (Lynn Cullen) 6000 labels have been sent in so far.  Lynn still needs help clipping. Next year she plans on sending in the labels earlier and there will be a merchandise order placed right away since nothing has been ordered in the last 3 years.
