Since the last General meeting in September, our community has done a ton! We celebrate: • Gatherings…and the volunteers who make them happen. Harvest Faire, Pie night and the Pangea Festival fed our bellies and our hearts. • Restaurant Donations Nights. Thanks to Straight From NY Pizza, Hawthorne Hophouse, Active Cultures Frozen Yogurt, Laughing Planet and Pizzacato for giving us excuses to eat out. • Our teachers and families! Thanks for bringing in treats during conferences. • All the people who cook with kids, go on field studies and overnights, help in classes and find other ways to serve! • Wreath and Poinsettia Sale & Tree Recycling. We raised more than $5000 for the GO Fund and had fun doing it! • Everyone who reached out to welcome someone new!
Tonight’s Agenda • Welcome P.E. teacher Dian Christensen • Welcome Representative Alissa Keny-Guyer • Adoption of prior minutes • Financial Report • Fundraising Update • GO Fund • What’s coming next?
Changes from 2010-11 Note 1: PTSA collects money from the Back to School major ask. Revenues are then shared with the school via grant. The school share is 44% while the PTSA retains 56%. This budget gives, via the School Services grant, funds to the school to cover areas that have been previously funded by PTSA such as Library, Teacher and Team grants, Community Kitchen and Student Aid. Note 2: Within the Back to School ask, there is a specific line for donors to give to the Foundation. PTSA will transfer this amount to the Foundation. The amount in the budget is an estimate of the amoint we might collect however the PTSA is obligated to only transfer the actual amount donated by BSA donors. Note 3: This budget gives arts grants to each team level - this amount is not determined by the school yet but is an estimate by the Budget Committee. It is the PTSA's hope to evenly distribute this arts money on a per student basis.
