Minutes of Meeting of the Lakewood Montessori Parent Teacher Organization

December 10, 2009

TIME AND PLACE OF MEETING:

The regular meeting of the Lakewood Montessori Parent Teacher Organization was held at Lakewood Montessori on Thursday, December 10, 2009, at 6:00 pm.

CALL TO ORDER:

PTO President, Debbie Miller, presided over the meeting.  A sign in sheet was circulated for signature by those in attendance.  The meeting was called to order at 6:00 pm.

BUSINESS:

1)    President Miller reported that about 154 cookbooks remain to be sold.  The price has been reduced to $10 each.

2)    Treasurer, Melody Whigam reported that the PTO raised approximately $390.00 from family photos at the Holiday Party.  Many thanks to Anne Moe for her time and efforts!

3)    The Square One fundraiser was shipped back to fill the orders.  Proceeds were estimated to be around $650.

4)    The shopping night at The Children’s Store was a success again this year.  The school earned about $200 in store credit which will be used to purchase science materials.

5)    The art auction was discussed at length.  Ideas included having a demonstration of the Montessori Bells before the auction begins so parents are made aware of what the proceeds will be used for; ask parents for contacts with caterers and rental companies; parents should check with their child’s teacher to see if they can help with art pieces; open up the raffle sales to outside family and friends.  In addition, parents are asked to solicit donations from friends and families within the local business community and contact Melody Whigam at mwhigam@yahoo.com with information about who they are contacting so we avoid duplicate requests.

UPCOMING PTO MEETING:

The next regular meeting is Thursday, January 14, 2010, at 6:00pm at Lakewood Montessori.

ADJOURNMENT:

There being no further business to come before the Parent Teacher Organization, President Miller declared the meeting adjourned at 7:00 p.m.


Respectfully submitted,

Debbie Miller
