Minutes – Parkwood PTA Board Meeting
April 27, 2011
Meeting was called to order at 6:10
The minutes from the April meeting were reviewed and approved.
Jill provided an update on the plans for the Talent show and fund raiser. The event will be on June 3rd. A flyer will be distributed to all students requesting donations for the various basket themes. The themes will be similar to last year. Also discussed holding an auction with any larger value donations received.
We discussed and approved the allocation of funds from the general fund to pay for childcare during the joint meeting of the International Committee and the PTA On June 13th.
Started a discussion regarding the PTA looking to grant funds for a nature specialist to teach in each classroom next year. Based on budget constraints the discussion was tabled until we know the amount rec’d from the Talent Show event.
An update of the open board positions for next year were review. We are still looking to fill several key positions.
A general membership meeting was scheduled for 6:30 but we did not have enough in attendance for quorum. The general membership meeting will be held along with the Volunteer Tea.
The PTA hosted Cubba Reeese who spoke on the parenting topic of backtalk and strategies for minimizing and coping.
Do you love your Parkwood teachers?
Now is a great to time to give them our thanks and praise!
May 2nd-6th (next week) is Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week!
This year we’re joining together to show our teachers & staff how much they mean to us by doing something special for them EACH DAY!
Monday, May 2nd - Mondays are always the longest day of the week, so we’d like to brighten each teacher’s day with flowers! If each student brought in a flower for their teacher, they would have a beautiful bouquet at the end of the day. PTA will provide vases for each room.
Tuesday, May 3rd – Coffee/Starbucks. We know our teachers love their coffee! Today you can bring in a Starbucks card for your teacher, or something else you know is a favorite and that they would enjoy.
Wednesday, May 4th - Potluck Lunch. Bring a delicious dish to our teachers lounge to share. PTA will provide drinks. There’s no need to make a quadruple batch – just bring a dish there will lots of options. PTA will provide napkins, plates and utensils.
Thursday, May 5th – Special note/picture/card for your teacher. Have your student draw or write something for your teacher telling them how special they are and why they are a great teacher.
Friday, May 6th – Desserts for our “sweet” teachers. Bring in a dessert item to the teacher’s lounge. PTA will provide Starbucks coffee boxes. Again, no need for 48 cupcakes…a ½ dozen will do.
PTA will be around on Wednesday & Friday morning to collect the food from you or the student you are sending it with. You can also leave it at the front desk throughout the morning if you don’t have time to get it to the lounge or don’t know where to go.
And, as always, you are welcome to show your teachers and our staff that you appreciate then in your own way during this special week or any day of the year.
THANK YOU!
