Highlights from our Meeting



What goes on at a PTO meeting? Lots of talking and planning. Here's a rundown of some of the items we discussed last Tuesday.
*Chili Cook-Off was cancelled! Teachers already pitched in to help the school with the Kickball Tournament and the upcoming Bingo Night so the Chili Cook-Off was a bit much for them.
*Possibility of having a Peter Piper Pizza Night.
*The Holiday Gift Shop in December. In conjunction with the Gift Shop, we're planning a Saturday morning Breakfast with Santa. Lots of discussion about whether making pancakes is possible or if we should have sweets brought in by parents or just buy donuts.
*School Requests: Mrs. Bendorf asked PTO to think about donating some kind of stepping stones for the super muddy areas from the gym to the playground. Also on her wish-list is BIG TREES for the playground.
*We're buying insurance (always a good idea) for our events and a license to show movies.

Most of the time we're talking about either raising money or spending money. Our Catalog Sales Fundraiser just kicked-off this Friday. This is the primary way we fund things from inflatables at the carnival to teacher requests to buying blue bonnet books. Help PTO out by purchasing a thing or two from your favorite Burks' student!
