1. Budget Review



Carrie presented the updated Budget statement for 2015-2016. A copy of the Budget statement is available upon request.



2. Service fundraiser



PTA continued to discuss the ideas of ways to generate revenue to meet our goals to cover our annual expenses. Some of the ideas brought forth were: pumpkin sales during fall festival, PTA resume the full organization of the fall festival, golf/spa tournaments, selling pies in the fall.



We reviewed the 1st Movie night in November which was a great success and discussed that this event will continue for February, April, May and possibly June.



Our goal is to raise the shortfall throughout the academic year through various fundraising events such as Movie nights & Casino Royale and other possible events/functions. A separate meeting will be set for Feb 3rd to discuss further.



Casino Royale date is set for May 13th – safe the date will be sent out shortly

Bake sale - Monday Feb 8th headed by Stephanie Milone. The goal is to encourage the students to bring in baked items that they made themselves or with a bit of help if possible.  

Pauline Oakley is going to arrange to provide “Starbucks” coffee for us to sell for that event.



All proceeds will go to “Choices”
