record breaking year on attendance, we had approximately 280, and profit.
Everyone seemed to enjoy the auction. Bob
Hale, Auctioneer, Brian Lajunesse, Mark Rosenberger, all complemented each other
and worked very well together. Tim stated the funds we raised at the auction will be spent next year.
Budget will be formed in August and voted on in September by membership.
We will add a line item on budget for Computers.
We are looking for ways to expand to middle and high school funding.
Tim opened the floor up for questions/comments about the auction. Stephanie Perusek – Questioned the budget needs.
She thought we should work on what needs to be had now instead of in
September. We can look at getting grants from outside sources for computers in
the library. Mrs. Stevens stated that we are following state guidelines on
technology. There is a levy in May
that will help with building, structure and computers. Amy Soltesz – PTA President stated we are looking for different ideas
to fundraise for computers. Having Beef O’Bradys night where one night each
grade level, teachers to serve, etc. We would like to have more people attend. Students can take Act/Sat in 7th grade.
Will get results where you stand against 12th graders.
Parents can see where students rank among seniors. There is a course at
Lakeland for prep. April Meeting will be the election for the 09-10 WEAGT officers.

OAT’s April 21, 23, 27, 29, week after Spring Break. Study Island is a
