August 13th Meeting
by Ferol Deleon
August 13th
Meeting
Officers were nominated. All were voted in
unanimously.
~ The possibility of having some sort of "end of the year
celebration" was brought up. Possibly having some sort of
cook out and games. Beth Stolar mentioned having some big
ticket items donated. This idea will be re-visited as the
school year progresses.
~ Beth Myers thought adding a tab to the junior high part of the
web site might be a good idea so that more parents might get
involved and have the opportunity to see what the parent boosters
do.
~ We have a need for more volunteers. Laurie Ann volunteered
to create a sign-up sheet for 7th grade orientation in hopes of
getting 7th grade parents involved so that we would have a database
to pull from for volunteering.
~ Heather Schaffer asked about school supply lists. We
explained that there are tabs located on the school web site and it
would be easier after her child received his schedule.
~ Kim purchased supplies at the request of Mr. Pierson to be
available for Ms. Thomas for those students who may need them.
~ Miss Thomas will let us know if any student would like to attend
the school dances but is unable to because of finances
~ The possibility of having some sort of recognition for
students/teachers being "caught" doing a good dead was mentioned.
This will be discussed in future meetings.
Fundraisers
~ The first fundraiser will be the Entertainment Books.
Volunteers from the boosters will be at 7th grade orientation
to hand out the Entertainment packets. The packets and money
are due back August 25th. Kim mentioned needing help to
coordinate book turn-ins and merchandise pass outs to the kids.
Beth Stolar, Laurie Ann and Beth Myers volunteered to
help.
~ It was discussed selling candy grams and tattoos (continuing from
last year) and possibly holding an OSU vs MI fundraiser later this
year. Laurie Ann said it might be a good idea to sell the tattoos
before school, and during lunches before dances and home
games.
Dances
~ We had a discussion about the school dances. The first
school dance will be held September 4th. It was decided to
change the price of student admittance from $3.00 to $2.00.
The theme for the first dance is "Spirit Day." The 7th
and 8th graders will compete in a contest to see who can be the
most spirited. The grade winner will receive $1.00 off
admittance into the dance. The top three most spirited
winners in attendance will receive free admittance to the football
game.
~ Beth Myers will talk to the football coaches about allowing the
players to attend even though practice is scheduled at the same
time.
~ Mr. Pierson will have details announced during the
announcements.
~ The need for volunteers was also brought up.
~ Laurie Ann will check on pricing of drinks at Costco and report
at the next meeting. She will also purchase one case of water
for the school dance.
~ Concessions for school dances will be as follows:
Pizza $1.00 and Pop $.75. We will have Cola, Sprite, Diet and
Mountain Dew. Water price to be determined according to the
purchase price. Candy bars will be $1.00. We also
talked about the possibility of having a food drive/school supply
drive for free admittance to future dances.
Dodge
Ball
~ Ann Miller is the coordinator for the dodge ball tournament.
~ The need for having sufficient volunteers was discussed.
Laurie Ann will provide a shift sheet for dodge ball parent
volunteers to have ready for 7th grade orientation. There
will be four 3 hour shifts.
Cross
Country
~ The first meet is October 5th. We will be providing limited
concessions as we have no electricity available to us. We
need volunteers. The High School Boosters will be providing
the tent if it is available on that date.
Meeting Concluded at 7:45 p.m.
