Why So Many Spirit Nights?

Our Teachers will receive the money from these nights and each will receive the same amount.  As a PTA we tried to plan one spirit night each month unless we had another school activity. This way we can get together as a community and can support our community sponsors.

August Spirit Night Cafe Zupas    Made  $461.82

September --Fun Run 

November -- Classic Fun Center 

October -- Halloween Parade 

December Spirit Night Cafe Zupas    Made   $ 334.36

January Spirit Night Chick-Fil-A    Made  $ 410.65

February Spirit Night Cafe Zupas    Made  $ 260.68

March Spirit Night Chick-Fil-A ???? (Coming Up Monday)  $ ???????



Right now we have $1,467.51 this will be $35 per teacher if this Monday we make the $400 we made before we would have $45 to give to every teacher. Please try to make it to the Midas Creek Spirit Night at Chick-Fil-A this Monday 5-7 pm

-The district is looking at 2017-2018 moving schools to modified school schedule

-2015-2016 The schools theme will be “Super Powers” – Living the 7 Habits can give us super powers.

- Miss Riverton will be collecting shoes for Africa 

Natalie Searle will be moving =( and will not be PTA President for the 2015-2016 School year

Heidi has so graciously stepped up and is willing to do it!!! We are sad to see Natalie go but we know Heidi will do a fabulous job!!!!! Thank you Heidi! We are now in need of a new President Elect for the 2015-2016 School Year.

We are moving forward with the marquee on the schools sign – they will have to remove 2 trees for it but will plant 2 more in another place on the property. 

It looks like the marquee will cost the PTA $10,000

PTA Day At The Capital was a success. There is a bill in the works to shift some education funding to the charter schools from the public schools. We will be watching to see what happens. Find out more info by going to the PTA’s blog.

Kindergarten Orientation is on April 10^th. We need some volunteers to come and help direct kids. The PTA will provide cookies and volunteers.

Fun Run planning is in the works for next year!

-        Working to plan food trucks for the food sales. 

-        Maybe do on a weekend instead of a weekday? 

Road to success:

-        Kids are loving it and we are very appreciate for all the hard work. 

-        Amy McMullins: teachers asked about if doing in class might work better than doing over the intercom.

Meeting dismissed until April 1st @ 10:00 am
