 * Used Book Sale** - Instead of holding Scholastic Book fair in the fall we will do a used book sale. Ask families to donate gently used books. All books sell for 50 cents. Karen will be coordinator. Plan to do a buy one get one free book fair in the spring.


 * Fall Festival** - October 25th at the school

Group decided against Haunted House this year due to lack of interest to put together. Instead will have a fall festival at the school. Look into Horse/Tractor Hayrides, Painting pumpkins (donated), Face Painting, Apple Bobbing, Selling apple cider. Do we need decorations? Haybales? Scarecrow?


 * Spirit wear** - Available to order at ice cream social/open house. Then order will be submitted for printing which takes approximately one week. Jenny will look into an embroidery option for teachers or interested families.


 * Scrip Fundraising-** Continue to promote, encourage families to use scrip cards like debit card for everyday gas/grocery purchases. This will decrease the need for other fundraisers throughout the year.

=May 19th, 2014= 6:00 PM

= = There were only 2 nomination forms returned and no accepted nominations for the positions of President and Secretary.
