Treasurer’s Report:  The deficit in the Academic Achievment Fund has been made up by the Monte profits. Monies left from the purchase of salad bar cart ($749) and the refrigerator ($71.00) were rolled back into the General Fund with a motion from Ashley Selck and a second from Sally Locke-Paddon.

 

We may not need the $816.00 for accelerated reader (Kathy to check with district on this), and Bill asked about the P.E equipment money, when it would be used. Kathy said teachers were still putting together an order. We expect this money to be used.

 

We have $275.00 on reserve for 6th grade graduation.

 

Old Business:

a.)      Auction -  Have sold 120 tickets out of the 130. Everything going well. Love Dogs are playing from 8:30pm-10pm.

b.)     Sees Candy/Bulbs – Collette Lee is in charge of See’s Candy Sales.

Will happen right before Spring Break. We do not have a coordinator for bulbs, so might be postponed.

        c.) Spring Festival is scheduled for April 20th. The theme is Earth day. Diane Avelar is the Chairperson, Sally Locke-Paddon to do food booth. A vote was taken regarding turning our Spring Festival and all present were in favor of putting on a Fall Festival with an emphasis on agriculture. Possibly ask Driscoll’s to help with this.

        d.) Traffic situation is going well. Much safer now. The afternoon pick-up still challenging, but they are working it out.

        e.) Parents on Campus. It was discussed that we need more parent supervision at lunch time. We are working on this in conjunction with the anti bullying program. Christine Castellenos heading up this project. We need at least 5 parents. They need to be finger printed at the district and go through a training. At this time we are discussing the lower grade lunch recess.

New Business:

 

       a.) There was no call for new business.

        b.) Sally reported that practice for the Play, Wizard of Oz is up and running

 c.) Kathy talked about making the Alliance structure different by advertising it as one meeting. We will make a motion and vote next month. She presented us with a sample agenda with a middle part being the Principal’s report. This would help so that like topics would not have to be gone over twice. It would mean HSC would officially start at 6:45. We decided to look at it next month again when we had more people at our meeting.(Only 6 members besides Officers) Kathy said SSC was in favor of this change.

Meeting adjourned at 7:35.
