Meeting Minutes May 8, 2013

PTO meeting Notes May 8 8:30 am

Principal’s report
            Playground surface is almost all complete.  We are just looking into a bottom step repair.  There is more money set aside for fixes.  Discuss broken step further.
            Site council survey was online (we are trying to be green)  but as expected it was not the best turnout. 

Treasures report
            $2355.00 in the playground fund.  We expect for this to go towards benches, in the near future. 
            $635.00  is cost of fixing broken step.  But rubber surface would have to be cut into.  More discussions with the rubber Co. to follow.  There may be other options.

            Calendar Raffle $14,160.00  - $350 (iPad)  - $250 (print)  - $90  (misc. cost) - $1920  Approx $11,425.00 net profit.
