• Other Thoughts/Ideas/Suggestions/Concerns

• Kaitlyn M – Art Night

• First time volunteering. She was in Shrinkydinks. That station needed more volunteers because it was crazy-busy! Can each grade-level take a station and man it or get volunteers to cover it? More like we do for carnival. This might work really well.

• Shifts were really long! Each team could schedule it as they can.

• Nikki – Great stations this year!! The bags were a big hit! Dale Brown did a great job!

• Joe K – More parents would volunteer if the request came from the teachers!

• Corey – What about the Balloon Guy?

• A couple Mom’s said it was good and the kids liked it

• His demeanor with the kids was just a little different, but nothing terrible.

• Julie H. - Face Painting went great! We had plenty of painters!

• Joe K – Having a “headliner” again next year would be great!

• Julie H. - Compliment the great Music Programs this year! Jessica is doing a great job!

• Kindergarten Program is next week!

• Venessa Bradley – Field Day coming up. What does PTA need to do?

• Not much! We do popsicles and lemonade. Nothing that really needs any help.

• Joe K. - Can we get an ASL interpreter for the 5th grade graduation?

• Kelli G. will look into this with Roberta

• April – When do we starting thinking about Carnival?

• Corey – May meeting we will talk about this and then big push right when we come back in August

• Next Meeting May 16th, 2024
