Will send the letter and set up the site.

Offered up many different ideas for fundraising.

Fundraising for New Year (money towards playground)
Possibility of new playground and having to get rid of the current “junior” playground – maybe monkey bars instead of a whole playground – looking at having a kindergarten play area – Cost $10,000 for play area and $15,000 for installation. Separate fund for playground
New Orleans – possibility of donating from all sales
Will look into Pepperettes in the new year.

Principal/VP update on the school – any new changes - Acadience screener being done K-2, lexia program available – lots of extra curriculars being offered – therapy dogs coming into the school -
Special Luncheons for the students – Holiday Dinner (spaghetti?), rethink whole school gatherings this year to ensure in\clusivity
PIC funding – will keep an eye out for the numbered memo
Voting in of new members ie (co-chair, etc.) – Kayla Peppler will continue as chair
