New Business
Build a Book – Bill Knickerbocker talked about the Young Authors Program. In the past about 200 kids have participated, with some going on to the Young Authors conference in Rice Lake. Registration fees of $20.00 were split between school and parents. Participation requires that the books are completed by March 1.
We discussed introducing the concept of the Build a Book/Young Author project at a night meeting in January or early February, providing a blank book ($1.50 per book) and a pack of draft blank paper to be used by the students. Registration for the event would be required. Possibly having the theme baskets auctioned off on that night. Another night could be scheduled for the students to work on their books at school using computers and supplies provided by PTO. Final books would be displayed at Parent Teacher Conference Night.
We need to come up with a plan and timeline by next meeting so we could kick it off at the end of January.
