Spirit Wear: Kim sent a message that we have a few socks of each size left over if anyone wants any. She is thinking about doing winter wear after Christmas. The board agreed we should do it in January.

Box Tops: We got a few thousand Box Tops so it’ll be a couple hundred dollars. We won’t do donuts because the bags have multiple teacher names on them when turned in.

Book Fair: $1722.01 profit & 452.18 in coin wars. She can’t use profit until we find out about sales and use tax. It went very well.

Fundraising: We need to get the sign-up sheet for basketball going. December 1 is first home game and 12/3 is the next one. We only have 6 home games. We might do nachos for basketball games.

Do we want to do soccer? We can do soccer because it’s boys and girls playing back to back.

Do we want to do a raffle during the games? A 50/50 raffle, signed ball, other prizes?

Joanna suggested we do something for Mr. Ritter for helping us.

Jamie will email Shannon Wilson about Tapco donation

VOICE: Melissa can go to the meeting tomorrow. We discussed the new high school will be located between SHS and EHS or SHS and WHS. Either way, it impacts Southern.
