Meeting Notes – April 4, 2012

Eagle Scout Project- Luke H. attended the meeting to discuss a request for P.A.C. to partially fund his Eagle Scout project. He is looking to build a shed for the Pre-K/Kindergarten’s outdoor equipment. It will be a 6 ft. by 8 ft. shed with a metal roof and metal siding as well as have a concrete slab floor and swing out doors with shelves inside. He is looking for it to be an emerald green roof with beige siding. The cost is anticipated to be $2000. He will find out in May if it has been approved and Dawn Van Wychen will let us know. He is looking to complete the project during the summer or fall. We will wait to hear back if the project is approved and then discuss funding a portion.

Treasurer’s Report – Wendy Cropsey reported our balance is approximately $8000.  Recent deposits were recorded for Brain Bowl and Paper Recycling.  Recent expenditures were for the Artist-in-Residence Program and to the School Nurse for her Conference.  Upcoming expenses to note include the labor for the Pre-K/Kindergarten playground.

Babysitting Clinic Update – Mrs. Pat Austin was not in attendance and the topic was tabled to the next meeting.

Nature CenterConnie Wheeler reported that there were only 2 responses to her e-mail last month to parents re: assisting with repairs to the Board Walk.  As a result, she spoke to John Seegers in Maintenance.  He will review the Board Walk repair needs and make the minor repairs.  Reminder, YMCA will be coming in and holding classes in theNatureCenter for the students, at the end of April through the beginning of May.

Staff & Technology Updates – Connie Wheeler spoke on behalf of Mrs. Czech who was not in attendance.  She stated the new Technology Manager as started and was recently introduced to the teachers/staff at the school.  Mrs. Cuff posted her position and is putting a Hiring Team in place.  She is hopeful to have the position filled by June.

Artist-in-Residence Update – Connie Wheeler spoke on behalf of Sue Rudolph stating that Trista Holz, the artist, was here Wednesday and will also be at the school next Thursday to do some finishing work on the murals.  Pendants are completed and students will begin cording and beading the necklaces next week.  Michelle Gloudemans stated that The Freedom Pursuit came in to take pictures and Michelle submitted information for an article in the newspaper.  The Freedom Pursuit has now run 2 articles.  She also stated that the Post-Crescent is coming in next Thursday afternoon to take pictures and finish writing an article. 

Family Fun Night Update – No one in attendance at tonight’s meeting attended the Family Fun Night.  From what Connie heard, the event went well; however, attendance was down this year.  Dawn Van Wychen said that the popcorn/water concessions were selling well while she assisted prior to the event starting.  Michelle Gloudemans stated on behalf of Michelle Wagner, who assisted at the event, that there needs to be a clean up crew on the sign up sheet in the future.  Connie Wheeler stated that we should consider providing free admission to future Sock Hop events and Family Fun Night events.

Back to School Kits – Melanie Thiel was not in attendance and the topic was tabled to the next meeting.  We thought flyers, to advertise the Back to School Kits, were supposed to go out at the end of March.

Secretary/Administrative Assistant Day – Wednesday, April 25th – In years past, at $40 bouquet of flowers had been sent to the school office.  Carrie Witt ordered last year through Dawn’s Floral at Freedom Foods.  The Motion was approved to send 2 bouquets of flowers, one to each of the secretaries, valued at $25 each.  Wendy Cropsey will handle the ordering/paying for the flowers.

Spring Student Appreciation – May 2nd – Connie Wheeler spoke on behalf of Kim Schuller and Jon Delaney who were not in attendance.  Popsicles will be handed out just to students, not staff members, after the walk on May 2nd.

Staff Appreciation Week – May 7th – 11th – Connie Wheeler handed out the sign up sheets on behalf of Michelle Wagner who was not in attendance.  P.A.C. will be providing various food items on that Monday, Thursday and Friday of that week, for the teachers and staff.    Michelle Wagner will also e-mail individuals who signed up on the “Helping Hands” sheet.

Fifth Grade Celebration – Andrea Schwaller stated that the event is on May 30th at 1:15 p.m. in the Cafeteria.  There will be no formal invitations sent out; however, parents that wish to attend may do so.  Only 1 or 2 parents attended last year.  There will be a video of the event and Kathy Lorge will be creating DVD’s for those that wish to buy them.  One of the Judy’s in the office will be printing up certificates.  John Seegers will be setting up the tables.  Carrie Witt will take care of the ice/waters.  Dawn Van Wychen will be purchasing the plates/forks/table clothes.  Amy Lahay will be creating cookie bouquets for the 5th grade teachers and Mrs.Czech.  Two cakes were ordered from Sweet Tooth.  There are 115 students who will be celebrated. 

Last Day of School Recognition/Retirees – Connie Wheeler stated she was unsure if this event took place on the last day of school due to it being a half day.  Usually the event takes place at 9 a.m.  Any teacher retirees are recognized via the P.A.C. President, and a particular group of individuals, in years past it has been S.T.E.P. (older individuals who volunteer for tax benefits) volunteers or Playground Aids/Substitutes or Student Council members.  Connie will double check on the retirees.  There are none that she or anyone else knew of.  We decided to recognize the specialty teachers this year with at $10 Gift Card to Subway.  Carrie Witt will take care of checking on the number/names of individuals and will handle purchasing the Gift Cards on behalf of P.A.C.

Paper Recycling – Connie Wheeler stated that it was another good event, however, we do not have a count yet on the tons or dollar amount raised.  She discussed the conflict on Friday with the dumpster pick-up.  Van’s was supposed to pick up at 2 p.m.; however, they came early to pick up the dumpster, and came around 11 a.m.  Connie talked with the owner of Van’s and they admitted the error was on their end.  At thenext Recycling Drive, we will have the dumpster arrive on Friday morning, June 1st and have it available through the weekend and through the following week, June 8th at 2 p.m.  She stated Van’s likes to be able to have their last pick up at that time due to the necessity to have the dumpsters to the U.S. Paper Mills scale that afternoon.

Teacher Requests – Mrs. Anderson, Kindergarten, submitted a request in October for a cart to sort books.  There was a misunderstanding as to who would order the cart and the request form had been lost.  As a result, it has not been ordered yet.  Connie will go back to Mrs. Anderson and let her know we approved up to $400 for the cart and she should proceed with ordering.

Mrs. Rudolph submitted receipts for string ($96), picture frame ($26) and beads for the Artist-in-Residence program.  Motion approved to pay expenses. 

Stephanie Piepenburg researched costs for Mrs. Erickson request for a rug; Mrs. Bougie’s request for dry erase boards and a rug; Mrs. Mall’s request for File folders, Post-Its and a Pencil Sharpener.   

There was some discussion re: the $$ given to teachers for their requests.  Going forward, the requests need to be more specific and possibly only for teachers educational needs in the classroom.  We would like to help promote the “Wish List” year round vs. just once or twice a year.  We would like to encourage parents who are getting rid of their gently used furniture pieces to check this “Wish List” and see if there is a need for any items.  We will be taking care of creating something for the teachers and placing in their Inboxes. 

Market Day – Amy Lahay proposed that we discontinue Market Day due to the declining monthly profits and the amount of work required.  Connie stated that in the initial year profits were approximately $3100, last year profits were $2200, and this year profits are less than $1500.  We agreed to discontinue Market Day next school year.  The Month of May will be our last sale.

Entertainment Book Fundraiser – It was mentioned that the 6th & 7th graders at the Middle School participate in this fundraiser.   In looking into this further, we were aware of the group (prior to agreeing to do the Fundraiser), however, we thought it was a sporting/dance group at the school.  We are happy that it is not an additional group that is selling the books and is still such a small sale.  The middle school sold 154 books last year with a profit of $1386.  According to the Entertainment book company representative, they will guarantee their future profits so our sale will not hurt their sale.  The Representative is “completely confident that we will sell between 500-700 books”.  Our profits are anticipated to be $5000-$7000.

New Business – Michelle Gloudemans discussed the amount of work that John Seegers and the Artist-in-Residence volunteers have put in over the last couple weeks.  It was agreed to give John a $50 Gift Card to Home Depot for his extra assistance with the Artist-in-Residence and Pre-K/K playground installation.

Stephanie Piepenburg received a huge list of Book needs from a 5th grade teacher.  She is going to follow up with her re: how she received books prior to this list.

Connie Wheeler is going to check into purchasing professional signs to advertise thePaper Recycling Drive.

Post Meeting wrap-up will be at ‘The Field House’. 

Meeting Notes – March 6, 2012

Treasurer’s Report – Connie Wheeler reported, on behalf of Wendy Cropsey, that we have approximately $13,600 in our account, due in large part to the recent Brain Bowl Fundraiser.  We do have a large expense coming up with the Artist-in-Residence Program (up to $6000), and have some smaller expenses, such as the $2400 costs for the installation of the Pre-K/K new playground equipment.

Nature Center/YMCA Classes – Connie Wheeler reported that she e-mailed 8 or 9 parents to see if they would be available to volunteer their time to repair the Boardwalk in theNatureCenter.  She is waiting for replies.  Beginning April 30th, the school will host YMCA Nature Classes.  The School’s budget and the Student Council will pay the costs again.

Babysitting Classes – Mrs. Pat Austin submitted a request for P.A.C. to consider hosting Babysitting classes for our 5th graders.  She researched ThedaCare, The Red Cross and Affinity Health’s cost ($25-$85 per student) and location (respective hospitals and set schools) options.  As another option, Pat is also talking to local Kathy Brockman who may be able to teach First Aid, along with a High School Teacher, who could teach child care/diapering, as well as David Waters with the Fire Department who could discuss Police and Fire Safety.  Pat will follow up further with these options and report back at the next meeting.

Staff/Technology Updates/New Rules – Mrs. Czech stated that Mr. Keith Roskowski has been hired by the District as a new Technology Department employee.  He will be working with Kathy Lorge on updating computers and software.

Several weeks ago, it was announced at school that students could no longer walk their brother/sister to their classroom and students could no longer stop in by their former teachers and talk to them in the morning.  According to Mrs. Czech, there have been students that were late to class and causing blockages in the hallway.  Mrs. Czech now stated that it is no problem if siblings need to walk another sibling to class if need be.  Mrs. Czech will also communicate to Teachers and Staff members (possibly via their “News and Notes”) that students can also now resume saying “Good Morning” to their former teachers, as long as there are not issues with students getting to class on time and no disturbances in the hallways.  It is important that students are where they need to be when the bell rings.

Pre-K/Kindergarten Playground Equipment Update – Michelle Gloudemans reported that the equipment is scheduled to be installed on that Thursday before Easter break.  When the Pre-K/K students return, they should have a nice gift from the Easter bunny!

Brain Bowl – Connie Wheeler reported that there were 218 Pre-K-2nd grade students tested, $8900 deposited.  There were just 10 students with a total of $350 in outstanding pledges.  The amount of pledges turned in on time this year was much better than last year.  We are thankful for the support!

Winter Book Fair Results – Stephanie Piepenburg reported that the Book Fair went well.  There were many books that were donated in addition to the $200 spent by P.A.C. on books/games/puzzles.  We will continue to do aBook Drive again next year where parents can again donate their gently used, good condition books.  

Artist-in-Residence – Michelle Gloudemans reported that she is getting volunteers via the “The Helping Hands” list as well as using a list of names provided by Sue Rudolph, Art Instructor.  Trista Holz, the fused glass artist, will be coming the last 2 weeks in March to work with our students.  We will be keeping the artist’s costs to approximately $5000 plus additional $$$ for gas/mileage/food/gift.  Due to our request to keep the Program costs to approximately $5000, Mrs. Holz is giving our school an approximate $2000 discount!  Connie Wheeler will be working again on a 5 x 7 digital scrapbook where every child’s project will be featured.  The books will again be given to Mrs. Holz, Mrs. Czech, Mrs. Rudolph and the Library.  Michelle will also be contacting the Post-Crescent and The Freedom Pursuit to see if they are interested in doing a feature.

Family Fun Night – Melanie Thiel reported that flyers were sent out today/Tuesday for the Friday, March 23rd Comedy Show.  She will be picking up the advance ticket requests through Wednesday before the Friday, Mar. 23rd show.  She’ll make a receipt and return to the office where they will be distributing to the students.  She stated another half-page flyer will be going out the Friday before the show.  There will be 2 tables of popcorn and water concessions beginning at 6:15 p.m. and ending at intermission.  She’ll need just a few volunteers to help with concessions.

Back to School Kits – Melanie Thiel reported that she received the Supply lists for the grades.  This is much earlier than previous years.  She e-mailed the lists to the Back-to-School kit Company.  We decided that the dollar amounts will be rounded up to the nearest dollar.  The minimal overage will be given to P.A.C.  Melanie will be sending out a flyer by the end of March on how to order these Back-to-School kits for September.  She is looking into how to put a link on our School website to the Company’s website.  These kits will contain brand name items.  Online ordering will be available through the first week of June.  There will be reminders put into the May and June school newsletters.  Additional reminder flyers will be sent home to parents in April and May.  There will also be a display set up at Family Fun Night in the Lobby area or Gym.

Spring Student Appreciation – Connie Wheeler spoke on behalf of Kim Schuller.  Connie stated that P.A.C. donates Popsicles for the Spring Student Appreciation day, which is together with the Shape-Up Walk on Wednesday, May 2nd at 1:45 p.m.  Kim will be working with Greg Weis, Food Service Director, and Judy in the office.  Mrs. Tewes, the Phy Ed Teacher, organizes the walk. 

Fifth Grade Celebration – Dawn Van Wychen discussed that the Celebration will be on May 30th, due to May 31st being a half-day only this year.  The half day would not provide them a long enough time for the Celebration.  Dawn will be working with Andrea Schwaller who coordinated the event last year.

Paper Recycling Drive – Connie Wheeler reported that thenext Paper Recycling Drive will be March 26th – March 30th.  It is posted on the Marquee outside along Hwy. E.  A Flyer will be going home with this week and a reminder Flyer will be going out late next week.  We are hoping that the recycled paper price will be more than $100/ton.

Teacher Requests – Connie Wheeler discussed the new Teacher Requests.

She stated Mrs. Wellner, school nurse, submitted a request for $310 to pay for her annual Wisconsin School of Nursing Conference on April 24th inStevens Point.  P.A.C. paid a portion last year.  She is requesting $155 from P.A.C.  Motion approved.

Stephanie Piepenburg shared her price/cost information for dry erase boards, rugs, pencil sharpeners, bean bag chairs.  P.A.C. received requests last month from Mrs. Bougie and Mrs. Erickson and discussed at the last P.A.C. meeting that Stephanie would do some price comparison prior to approving those expenses.  P.A.C. approved requests from Mrs. Bougie (dry erase boards, rug, and pencil sharpener) and Mrs. Erickson (USA Rug, Bean Bag chair) up to the dollar amount that Stephanie was able to find the items for.  The teachers can either choose then to purchase their requested items from the supplier they found or through Stephanie.  Thank you to Stephanie for all the time spent researching these costs.

Mrs. DeGroot submitted a request for 2 PVC basketball hoops and balls.  Motion approved. 

Mrs. Mall, 5th grade teacher, submitted a request for 3 x 3 self-stick notes, file folders and gift cards for the 5th grade play (March 29th).  Stephanie Piepenburg will find out how many self-stick notes and file folders Mrs. Mall needs and will then pick them up on her behalf.  Mrs. Mall is receiving $200 from the School’s budget for the play participants, and it was approved that P.A.C. will donate up to $200 as well. 

Market Day – Connie Wheeler reported that we earned a profit of $107 for February.  The March promotion will be desserts.

New Business – Connie Wheeler and Michelle Gloudemans discussed their recommendation on doing a Fundraiser next September/October with Entertainment Books.  Based upon the size of our school and the Entertainment Company’s experience, it is anticipated that we will be able to sell a minimum of 500 books, for a profit of approximately $5000.  We will be able to give every family, including teachers and staff members, a FREE book now to familiarize families with the great savings.  The Books are anticipated to be going home with students throughout the middle-end of next week.  We will be sending home fundraiser materials later in September.  Students will be able to earn free Entertainment books and prizes as part of their incentive program to us.

Next PAC meeting:  Wednesday, April 4, 2012.  6:00 – 7:30 pm in Art Room. 

PAC Meeting Notes – February 6, 2012

Treasurer’s Report – Wendy Cropsey stated the current balance is $12,325.70.  Payments have been distributed to Teachers for supplies.  There will be a deposit of $997 from the Sock Hop, minus food and $320 raffle prize expenses.

 Nature Center updates – Mrs. Cuff was in attendance to discuss the WI Department of Transportation’s Freedom’s mitigation site, which is behind the Nature Center.  Due to the DOT expansion of Hwy 41, wetlands have been lost throughout the area.  The DOT is looking to gain wetlands back behind the school area/Nature Center by purchasing 75 acres behind the school.  This area was wetland before it was tiled/drained and used for agriculture in the 1980’s to present.  Now this area will be going back to wetland status.  The DOT will be starting in the spring time with excavating and removing tiling and pumps.  The Nature Center is in jeopardy of changing.  Mrs. Cuff recommended that we give it time before we do the extensive expansion work to the Boardwalk.  She stated we should see a difference next spring time (2013).  DOT said they will not/cannot impact Duck Creek and will create up to a 7 foot burm to avoid impacting the Creek, which runs through the Nature Center.  The DOT will be moving sludge in, which will create more wetness all the time.  The water may pool up behind the Nature Center.  PAC decided to proceed with any needed repairs and will use the “Helping Hands” list to have the repairs completed before the YMCA classes for our students, in the later spring.  PAC will evaluate the status of the Nature Center after next spring time of 2013 before proceeding with the expansion of the Boardwalk.

Staff & Technology Updates – Mrs. Czech discussed the YMCA classes coming in the springtime to our Nature Center and is interested in seeing if PAC would like to pay for some of the costs.  PAC has not paid for the ($800-$900) costs in prior years.  In the past, the Student Council paid half of the cost while the school paid for the other half.  School will be hosting the YMCA classes regardless if PAC offers to pay or not.  Mrs. Czech will talk to the Student Council re: their ability to pay for any of the costs this year.  Mrs. Czech stated the District is interviewing this week for the newly created Technology position to work with Kathy Lorge.  She thought there were 8-9 applicants. 

Pre-K/Kindergarten Playground Equipment Update – Michelle Gloudemans stated that PAC approved the purchase of 4 new pieces of equipment from Lee Recreation/Playworld Systems.  The items have been ordered.  We saved extensive dollars due to purchasing the equipment prior to the end of the January 31st sale and new catalog.  PAC discussed the past big playground expansion project and discussed the needs/process to have these items assembled/installed.  As a result, PAC approved the $2400 expense to have Lee Recreation do the complete assembly and installation of the pieces.  The items will be delivered, assembled and installed on Monday, June 4th, unless there is an opportunity for the install prior to Easter/Spring break. 

Sock Hop Dance – Cindy Taft stated that the event went well overall and that the children had a blast, although it was a bit chaotic as usual.  She stated that people attending did not know where to put canned goods.  There was over 300 pounds of food donated to the Food Pantry.  She suggested that we do not have as many raffle prizes (24) next year.  She also suggested that the raffle tickets be purchased separately from the canned goods drop off.  There was discussion of having the raffle prize tables moved to the Multipurpose Room for more space.  The committee spent $320 between the 24 raffle prizes.  Next year, the committee members will try to get more prizes on sales and also more donations from local businesses.  We decided that each event/Fundraiser needs to have a Chairperson and discussions need to occur between all committee members to ensure all tasks are included and responsibilities are understood.  The committee members will be starting a new folder which will be updated and returned to the PAC folder box/closet by end of year.

Pre-K – 2nd Grade Brain Bowl – Connie Wheeler stated that the majority of the testing will occur on Tuesday, February 7th and any remaining Pre-K classes and those individuals sick on Tuesday, would be tested on Wednesday, February 8th.  209 students are scheduled to participate.  Last year 189 students participated.  Profits are anticipated to be approximately $8000, which is similar from last year.  Volunteers have been scheduled.  Their lunches are being paid for by Student Council.  PAC is paying for book markers to be given out to the students once they turn in their pledge money.

February 16th Parent Teacher Conferences Meal – Michelle Wagner handed out a sign-up sheet for the Soup Meal.  Michelle will be e-mailing the parents that signed up on the “Helping Hands” list.  We discussed making sure each parent volunteer does not feel they need to make/buy enough items (desserts, main items) for 60 people as well as ensuring there is a clean-up crew assigned/scheduled.

Winter Book Fair – This year PAC will be sponsoring another Book Fair.  The Book Fair is held in the Staff Room where the teachers can pick out books for their classroom.  Stephanie Piepenburg has purchased books again (on behalf of PAC) as well as some Books on Tape and some games.  She talked to Mrs. Zabel, Librarian, re: taking any leftover books on tape and games, along with the books.  We are also taking donations this year from parents.  This is new this year.  If you would like to donate a good condition, gently used book, please bring it to the donation box which is placed in the lobby area next to the Campbell Soup Label container.  PAC approved the motion to reimburse Stephanie for an additional $58 due to her misplaced receipts. 

Artist in Residence Program – Michelle Gloudemans discussed the Artist in Residence program that is again coming to school during the last 2 weeks in March.  Trista Holz is a fused glass artist and will be working with the 1st – 5th graders on individual take home projects.  PAC discussed which students should be involved with the large 6 community murals.  Due to the 5th graders only being in this school for another 12 weeks, PAC decided to involve 1st – 4th graders if possible and not the 5th graders.  However, if costs are an issue, only 2nd – 4th graders will be involved. 

Family Fun Night – Michelle Gloudemans spoke on behalf of Melanie Thiel, who could not attend the PAC Meeting.  She stated that Friday, March 23rd, from 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. will be the Family Fun Night. Comedy City is again booked.  The gym is reserved and we can have food and drinks inside the gym (new this year).  Melanie will be working with Michelle Wagner re: concessions (leftovers from Sock Hop).  PAC discussed pre-selling the tickets.  Mrs. Czech stated that they can be sold 2.5 weeks prior to the event and the paperwork can be collected in the office and tickets can be distributed through the office.

Back-to-School Kits – Michelle Gloudemans spoke on behalf of Melanie Thiel, who could not attend the PAC Meeting.  She stated that there was a sample display up at the Sock Hop and will also do a sample kit display at the Family Fun Night on March 23rd. The Sample Kit will also be on display at the Parent/Teacher Conferences on February 16th.  The plan is to have the Kits be available for purchase by the end of March, through the first half of June.  Orders will be placed online only.  It was discussed whether the display Kit should be donated to a child or if PAC should keep for future events.  It was decided to keep the sample Kit for future displays.  It was also discussed whether the final kit cost should be rounded up to the nearest dollar or two and PAC decided that yes, the kit costs will be rounded up to the nearest dollar or two and the amount can be donated.

Paper Recycling Drive – Connie Wheeler stated that we did do well with our December donation.  It was 6.68 tons.  However, our prior donations were paid at $300 per ton.  The US Paper Mill was giving us extra dollar donations above the Market Value.  This time we received straight Market Value of $100 per ton.  We received a check for $668. Next Paper Recycling Drive is set for March 26th – March 30th. 

Teacher Requests – Mrs. Degroot submitted a request for $10-$12 in material costs to make PVC Basketball hoops and to purchase some balls.  PAC will be talking to her further re: costs and will bring to the next meeting.  Mrs. Bougie submitted a request to pay for a rug due to her chilly floor.  She also requested $70 for a pencil sharpener.  She also requested approximately $180 for dry erase white boards for her classroom.  Mrs. Erickson requested a $400 USA/Geography Rug, 7 foot by 10 foot.  She also requested some deluxe bean bag chairs.  PAC decided to have Stephanie Piepenburg do some price checking before proceeding with these requests.  PAC also wants to see what the final $$ amount profit from Brain Bowl is and where our balance is with our account.

Market Day – January profit was $153.79.  This money will be allocated toward Teacher requests.

New Business – Connie Wheeler stated that there was a request to hold/pay for a babysitting clinic.  We will discuss further at the next PAC Meeting.

Meeting Notes – January 5, 2012

PAC Meeting Notes for Thursday, January 5, 2012

Treasurer’s Report – Current balance is $14,785.58 minus any new reimbursements for Teacher classroom requests.  Brain Bowl profits will be coming in late February. 

Brain Bowl – Mrs. Kurkiewicz and Mrs. Rutton, both 1st grade teachers are taking over this fundraiser this year (from Mrs. Elrick). They stated that on January 17th a letter will go out to the Pre-K through 2nd grade parents with information on the fundraiser.  The prior year was approximately $8,000 profit with this fundraiser.  On February 1st the pledge sheets will be due.  187 students from Pre-K through 2nd grade participated in 2010.  On February 7th and 8th there will be the testing.  We anticipate that February 7th will be the main day with February 8th working with the M/W Pre-k classrooms and any other students that may have missed the day prior.  On February 29th the pledges will be due.  They will be handing out bookmarks to the Pre-K through 2nd grade students who participate.  There will also be lunch at school provided to the parent volunteers on February 7th and 8th.  Costs for the bookmarks and the lunches may be covered by Student Council.  Connie Wheeler will be coordinating the volunteers via the “Helping Hands” list.  Parent volunteers from Mrs. Rutton’s room and STEP volunteers may also be used on February 7th and 8th.  Unfortunately, there was a drop in participation by 70 students in 2010.  They would like to promote a higher participation rate this year.  As an incentive, P.A.C. approved the motion to allocate $50 per classroom for outdoor equipment or games to help get the students excited about participating.

Staff and Technology Updates – Mrs. Czech was absent at this meeting, however she relayed information onto Connie Wheeler.  Connie stated that the District will be hiring someone to work with Kathy Lorge in the Computers/Technology area.  The position is posted externally.  The question initially came up re: P.A.C. purchased Smart Board games and should the games be housed in the Library.  However, it was brought to our attention that there is an online exchange library that teachers can download games from and will and should not need to purchase games.  Connie will be talking to Mrs. Sara Roberts re: her request to P.A.C. to purchase a Jeopardy game for the Smart Board.

Pre-K/Kind Playground Equipment – P.A.C. decided to postpone the purchase of the 4 items that were being considered for the Pre-K/Kindergarten playground as discussed by Mrs. Czech in the November meeting.  The items would total close to $10,000 and the members were not excited about the items presented.  Michelle Gloudemans will be talking with Mrs. Czech re: the parameters for equipment and other schools re: their suppliers.

February 16th Parent Teacher Conferences’ Meal Planning – Michelle Wagner will be distributing the sign up sheet at our February meeting and will also use the “Helping Hands” list. 

Artist in Residence – Connie handed out 2 small digital scrapbooks that she created from last year’s Artist in Residence program.  The scrapbooks will be given to the Art room, Library, as well as Mrs. Czech and Sharon Kilfoy, last year’s Artist.  Sue Rudolph recapped information on Trista Holz, the fused glass artist chosen for this year’s Artist-in-Residence program in March.  Sue Rudolph and Michelle Gloudemans will be meeting on Tuesday, January 10th with Trista Holz.  As discussed in the November meeting, it will cost approximately $5 per student for individual projects that will be taken home, while the cost will be approximately $7 per student for the community project/murals.  They will be discussing the specifics for the Artist in Residence program in terms of which students will be participating and where the large murals could be going. 

Winter Book Fair – Stephanie Piepenburg has in the past coordinated a Book Fair day where P.A.C. purchased books that were made available to the teachers.  Going forward, we would also like to host aBook Drive where parents would be able to donate their gently used, but good condition books.  It was discussed that books could be dropped off in the Library during the February Parent/Teacher conferences.  It was not determined if all of the books will be housed in the library and checked out by teachers or if the teachers will again be able to take as many books as they want and house them in their classroom.  Stephanie will be following up with the Library.

School Sock Hop Dance – Stephanie Piepenburg coordinated the Sock Hop last year.  This year, Andrea Schwaller will be coordinating the event and stated that the Dance will be on Friday, February 3rd from 6 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.  Cost of the tickets will be $10 per family and $3 per individual.  More information will be sent home with students within the next week.  The DJ will be T.J. the D.J. and cost approximately $150.  Greg Weis, Food Service Director, will handle the snacks.  There will be 8-10 parent volunteers per 1/2 hour session in the hallways/gym/multi-purpose room.  Andrea passed around a volunteer list.  There will also be aFood Drive where people who bring a canned good to the Sock Hop will be given a free ticket for the prize raffles.  Raffle items will be geared to boys, girls and adults.  Local businesses may donate prize baskets.  PAC will be paying for the toy items.

Family Fun Night – Melanie Thiel stated that the event is set for Friday, March 23rd from 6:30 p.m. – 8 p.m.  This will be a Comedy night.  It will cost approximately $500 plus gas/mileage.  The cost will be $10 per family, $3 per individual, in advance and $15 per family, $5 per individual at the door.  This event will take place in the gym.  They will be selling popcorn, some snacks and water.  There should be snacks left over from the February 3rd Sock Hop event that could be used at the March 23rd Comedy event.

Back to School Kits – Melanie Thiel coordinated the kits last year and will be coordinating this year.  She stated that in speaking with the families who purchased them and teachers who had students who had the kits, they loved them.  Melanie will be obtaining a couple Sample Kits to be set out at the Sock Hop on February 3rd and at the P.A.C. table in the lobby for the Parent/Teacher conferences in February.  Melanie is hoping that families could start ordering Kits in April, May and June.  Melanie stated that the Back to School Kit costs were less than the school supplies purchased at Wal-mart.  Melanie will be creating a flyer that will go home with students.  She is also hoping that the teachers who had the students who had purchased kits will be talking at the Staff Meeting.  If the school sells 50 kits, there will be no shipping and handling costs and the kits will be delivered to the school.  Melanie will follow up next month at the meeting as to the progress.

5th Grade Celebration – Tabled until February meeting.

Paper Recycling Update from December – At the end of December, we filled 4 dumpsters, 6.68 tons, which again was more than last time.  However, the paper pricing has gone down through US Paper Mills.  Connie will be getting the final profit numbers.

Teacher Wish List Book/Requests – P.A.C. received a request from Mr. Menting for a futon frame/mattress for his classroom for a cost of $119.  It is thought that there might be parents who may have an unneeded/good condition futon that may work if necessary.  Connie talked with Mr. Menting and he no longer needs the futon.

Market Day – December – The profit from the December sale was approximately $618 with 102 boxes of cookies sold.  We received 30% of the cookie sales.  Thank you to all the families for your support.

Nature Center On behalf of Mrs. Czech and Robin Braunschweig, Connie Wheeler distributed material from the WI Dept. of Transportation re: the expansion of US Hwy 41 and the effect on the wetland area behind the school.  A drain tile has to be removed from the farmer’s field behind theNatureCenter.  As a result, theNatureCenter may get flooded in the spring time.  It was suggested to postpone the Boardwalk project by 5 years.  However, the Boardwalk is approximately 1 foot above ground and not sure if the flooding will truly be an issue.  Next month, attendees at the PAC meeting should come prepared with any questions.  Connie stated she did not think the flooding would affect the Boardwalk and stated in her opinion we should keep proceeding with the Boardwalk plans. 

YMCA Classes – On April 30th, May, 1st, 3rd, 7th, 8th and 9th, the YMCA will be coming into the school and leading Nature classes for the Kindergarteners – 5th grade.  The cost is $1.50 per student for the 772 students.  P.A.C. has not paid in prior years, however, Mrs. Czech inquired as to if P.A.C. would be interested in paying 1/2 the cost.  P.A.C. is interested in knowing if we do not pay, will the program be canceled.  We will discuss at the February meeting.

New Business – Per Connie Wheeler, there were some concerns that the 1st and 2nd gradeHoliday concert was too crowded and Mrs. Czech will be discussing with Mrs. Seibert, Music Teacher, the option of splitting the concert into 2 separate sessions for next year’s concert.

Treasurer’s Report – Connie Wheeler reported our balance is $22,278.87, which includes $11,387.15 from Avon deposits.  A check for approximately $6,900.00 will be sent to Avon directly which will decrease the reported balance. 

Helping Hands List– Has been handed out to the P.A.C. coordinators forAvon and Market Day.  In addition, there will be a List made available for the school Staff members to use as needed.  In addition, 84 e-mail addresses are now listed within our website.  Those e-mail addresses receive meeting agendas and notes.

Flag Football Concessions Report – Cindy Taft, the P.A.C. coordinator this year, reported that we hosted concessions for 7 of the 8 weeks of Flag Football.  The total profit is estimated to be over $650.  Cindy provided those in attendance at the P.A.C. meeting a report as to the items sold and their price as well as a summary of sales.  The discussion of purchasing a tent will be postponed until next September.  Thank you to all who donated baked goods for the sale and to Cindy Taft for all her time in organizing this fundraiser. 

Staff Appreciation Meals – P.A.C. will be providing meals to the Staff members on the evenings of the Parent/Teacher conferences on Tuesday, November 15th and Thursday, November 17th.  Michelle Wagner will be using the “Helping Hands” list and e-mailing those individuals who volunteered items for the meals. 

Avon Fundraiser – Stephanie Piepenburg is the P.A.C. coordinator again this year.  She passed around a sign up sheet for volunteers to help with the school delivery on Monday, November 14th.  P.A.C. volunteers will help organize the orders for distribution and help parents with picking up their orders during the conference evenings.  Stephanie will be using the “Helping Hands” list to obtain volunteers to help.

Teacher “Wish List” Book/Teacher Requests – Teachers will be turning in their “Wish List” items by Friday, November 4th.  Teachers were asked to provide us with “Wish List” items that are $20 or less.  Connie Wheeler will be putting the “Wish Lists” into a binder for parents to use for ideas for teacher/staff Christmas gifts.  The “Wish Lists” will be available to see at Parent/Teacher conferences on Tuesday, November 15th and Thursday, November 17th.  The following are the requests that we received this past month.

A request has come into P.A.C. by the 3rd grade team to pay for an Incubator for the chickens, prior to hatching.  P.A.C. approved the $120-$150 expenditure. 

A request came into P.A.C. by Mr. Awe to pay for a 5 foot by 7 foot “Hands Around the World” Rug.  P.A.C. approved the $195 expenditure.  Mr. Awe also requested P.A.C. to pay for a kidney-shaped table to be used for Guided Reading.  P.A.C. approved the $125 expenditure.

A request came into P.A.C. by Mrs. Van Handel also for a kidney-shaped table for her class to use during Guided Reading.  Mrs. Van Handel is a new teacher this year.  P.A.C. approved the expenditure, however, directing her to coordinate her order with Mr. Awe to obtain better pricing.

A request came into P.A.C. by Sara Roberts to pay for board games, chapter books and a classroom Jeopardy game and pencil sharpener.  Sara is new to teaching 5th grade this year.  P.A.C. approved the $99 Jeopardy expenditure as well as the $50 expenditure for the pencil sharpener.  P.A.C. is recommended for her to put the games on her “Wish List”.  Stephanie Piepenburg will be talking with Sara re: her needs for books.  Stephanie will coordinate purchasing some of the books.

Staff/Technology Report by Mrs. Czech – Mrs. Czech reported that the teachers are continuing to work on the grading portion on Skyward.  Teachers should also be working on getting the report card grades online as well.

Pre-K/Kindergarten Playground Equipment – Mrs. Czech reported that a sign has been ordered and will be going up on the fence by the entrance to the playground.  The sign will say that the playground is for children 7 years old and younger.  Mrs. Czech met with the Pre-K/Kindergarten teachers and gave them some pictures of available new items for the playground.  Mrs. Czech distributed these 4 options to those in attendance at this P.A.C. meeting.  All items are self-standing.  All items should pass insurance inspection.  If P.A.C. approves the expenditures, she will go to the Building and Grounds committee for their approval.  Costs are anticipated to be just under $10,000 total for the 4 items.  She will need volunteers to help with the installation.  Mrs. Czech will be talking to John in Maintenance re: the space and the condition of the current items to determine the appropriate placement of the new items.  She will report back at our January meeting where we will discuss the plan to purchase the items.

Nature Center News – Mrs. Czech stated that Mr. Quinlan, a second grade teacher, will be coordinating the efforts on behalf of the teachers, however, he is hoping to work with P.A.C. volunteers as well.  Connie Wheeler reported that there were 8 individuals on the “Helping Hands” List who volunteered for Nature Center projects.  Mrs. Czech asked if P.A.C. would like to pay 1/2 of the costs for the YMCA to come out and do 50 minute classes for each of the grades/classes.  She is setting up for sometime in April or May. Connie Wheeler is going to check to see if P.A.C. paid any of the expenses for last year and will discuss at our next meeting.  Connie reported that George Van Wychen came after school one day and mowed down the weeds/grasses.  Kirk Schuh will be looking into trimming the trails and what is needed to be done at this time.  We will need to decide if we want to have different committees to handle the Boardwalk expansion project, the Butterfly Garden and the overall Maintenance efforts required. 

Artist in Residence Program – Michelle Gloudemans presented the handful of different Artist options to consider for the March/April Artist-in-Residence program.  Artists included paper mache artists, clay and ceramics artist, fused glass artist and children’s book authors/illustrators.  The fused Glass artist was chosen.  The costs are anticipated to be between $600.00 and $6500.00 for a 2 week program.  This will include Kindergarten potentially through 5th graders.  Students will work with the artist on individual projects to take home as well as large community/school projects/murals.  We will tentatively plan the program for the last 2 weeks in March. 

P.A.C. “Thank you” cards – Michelle Gloudemans presented a handful of different design options for the “Thank you” cards to be used by P.A.C.  Michelle will be printing them and then coordinating with Sue Mannebach for distribution.  P.A.C. wants to better recognize those individuals who volunteer and/or donate items to the school.

Market Day Report – Connie Wheeler reported that profits for October’s Market Day were $157.  She stated November is Pie month where we will get 30% of pie sales if we sell 100+ pies.  People can donate a pie to the Food Pantry and Amy Lahay and Connie Wheeler will be delivering the pies that night.  The Food Pantry will be handing them out in December for a Christmas meal.  We will be putting a posting on the website and Facebook re: the option to donate pies to the Food Pantry.

Paper Recycling Drive – Connie Wheeler reported that The Freedom Pursuit ran a “Thank you” note and a separate article re: the Paper Recycling Drive.  Connie is hoping to obtain some assistance via Eagle Scouts to help with the various loads of magazines/catalogs received from a local business.  Connie has the boxes but would like help loading/unloading.  Thenext Paper Recycling Drive is set for December 26th through the 30th.  Mark the dates on your calendar!  Reminder, please NO wrapping paper.

2012 P.A.C. Meeting Dates – The following dates were set for the remainder of the school year, Thursday, January 5th; Monday, February 6th; Tuesday, March 6th; Wednesday, April 4th; Thursday, May 3rd.  All meetings will start at 6:00 pm.  If you haven’t come to a P.A.C. meeting recently, please come join us at our next meeting!  Everyone is welcomed and appreciated.  Let’s work together to make our school and community a better place!

Preplanning for Brain Bowl/Sock Hop/Family Fun Night/Winter Book Fair – Those individuals who volunteered for any of these events should please come to the January meeting to report on the progress.  Connie Wheeler will be in contact with these individuals so they are prepared. 

Ways to welcome new members – Connie began the discussion stating we would like to brainstorm ideas on how to welcome new members.  Some of the suggestions include giving a background/history on some of the projects at the meetings to help educate those who are new to P.A.C.; also to have Committee Leaders/Coordinators, ensuring those Committee Leaders/Coordinators have past folders of information; possibly calling those new to meetings to welcome them; Committee Leaders/Coordinators should be calling those individuals who volunteered via the “Helping Hands” List.  It will be put on the agenda for our January meeting to ensure every committee has a Leader/Coordinator and they know who they are.
