Mrs. Ciferno, who is the school district’s Gifted Intervention
Specialist, may soon be requesting the use of a laptop to aid in her travels to
different schools. Mrs. Harker will
look into this request and expense. Auction Report:
Sandy Foltz reported on results from the survey concerning the auction.
There was discussion about the venue and cost. The best month(s) for the auction were tallied as February or
March. Nina Transky stated that
parents who are unable to come to the auction should be able to see the final
results of the classroom auction projects.
It was suggested during general discussion that perhaps pictures of the
projects could be posted on our website. It
was stated however that privacy issues were a concern and therefore the
successful bidder and the amount paid should not be included on the website.
No determination was made as to the location for next year’s auction,
however, the Patrician is allowing our group until May 1st to commit
to the last Saturday in February for next year. Sue Luck stated
that a Nominating Committee will be formed to come up with a slate of officers
for next year’s WEAGT board. A
flyer with this slate will be sent home with the students. Other nominations can
be made at the April meeting. WEAGT
primarily has two events during the year – the Family Picnic held in September
and the Auction. Discussion should
be had in the future as to whether or not more events should be added to our
agenda. PTA updates: Amy Soltesz mentioned the upcoming PTA events: The Chick-Fil-A event, the last skating party and the Carnival at North on April 24th. Meeting adjourned at 8:09 P.M. Submitted, Joyce Hribar Fiebig, Secretary |
