Principal’s Report – Yeoman welcomed those in attendance and introduced the new staff members that were present.  The feedback on the Sneak Peek was very good and hopes to do it again in the future.  The technology purchases approved last school year should be installed in September.  Teachers will have training on the technology and it will roll out shortly after.

Teacher Reps – Scharf commented that the fundraiser is well organized; all the packets were delivered and ready to go.  The homecoming parade is coming up on 09/24/10.  The theme is Super Heroes vs. Villains.  WI needs a volunteer to take charge of the float.  Yeoman will put something in the newsletter for the float.

Volunteer Report – Turner commented that there is a chair for every committee except Soup Labels.  If anyone is interested please see her about it.  The ice cream social and yearbook signing is scheduled for 09/02/10.

Unfinished Business – Yeoman explained that the old smart board software isn’t as compatible with the new boards as they original thought it would be.  He asked for help in funding the purchase of an additional eight smart boards.  The PTO wanted to fund the whole project and discussed on the best way to do that so they could be ordered immediately.  Schrader motioned to use the money from the Technology Fund plus the money in the Principal’s Pet Project.  The motion was seconded and approved by those in attendance.  Hilbert moved to table for a vote at the next PTO meeting to reimburse the Principal’s Pet Project fund.  The motion was seconded and approved by those in attendance.

New Business – Fundraiser was kicked off with an assembly.  Technology and field trip funding were discussed for the fundraiser money to be used for.

Meeting adjourned.
