President Report
Playground Committee- we need a group together to decide what to purchase for the new playground. Ideas include; adaptive swing for special needs, kickball field or painted map on parking lot. Mrs. Ball will be providing some equipment for the playground but H&S will supplement with new items.
Reading Award – There have been reading awards in the past and with Mrs. Milks’ retirement we are looking to have an award dedicated to her.
Giant A+ Rewards – our points will start accruing in October, you should not need to re-register your card to earn. Any Giant PA card can be linked to our school so have friends and family help out.
Daycare – H&S is looking to provide during our scheduled meetings.
Help Wanted – Frosty Fest Chair Person, January Family Fun Night, April event (possibly a service event), Labels for Education, May event (past event was Mayfair), Hospitality Chair. Cynthia Ferguson may take over Sunshine Chair.
Clearances – If you have volunteered in the past no new clearances are needed at this time. If no volunteer history you still need clearances to volunteer for H&S events.
Treasurer Report
We are switching over to new PC Program PT Avenue. Budget needs approval at next Home and School meeting. Last year was a down year in terms of budget, so we are hopeful for 2015-2016. New line of instructional media was added to budget.
