Notes from last week's meeting

Notes from PTO meeting on November 30, 2011

TEACHER LUNCHEON: We are putting on a teacher luncheon on Thursday, December 15^th. We are putting on a teacher appreciation potluck for the teachers at Portside.  Please sign up for what dish you would like to contribute to say thanks for all that our teachers do! I was going to put a link to an evite so people could write what they were going to bring, but I am just going to let people put what they are going to bring in the comment section of the blog.

TEACHER HOLIDAY GIFTS: We are going to put notes in boxes at school giving the option to contribute to a holiday gift for the teachers.

FUNDRAISING: Way to go on the fundraising. We sold over $4,000 worth of cookie dough. The money raised is going to go towards replacing the play structure in the toddler room that was recently destroyed by vandalism.

EVENING PERFORMANCE: There is going to be an evening performance by the students coming up soon. Keep an eye on your boxes for the date!

SONG LISTS: Some parents have requested a list of song lyrics of the songs their kids sing (so that they can sing them at home). Portside is working on this and hopefully will get it to us so we can post it on the blog.

SUPPLIES: Many people have asked whether Portside takes donations of supplies. Their ongoing needs list includes: envelopes, magazines, paper and books.

TEXTING: Some people have said that the texting service is not working – Melinda and Maureen are looking into this.

CLEAN UP DAY: Tentative outside cleanup-day set for Saturday, January 21^st. More details to follow.

NEXT MEETING is tentatively set for Wednesday, February 1^st.
