OLD BUSINESS  

Me Lucky Loot Challenge went really well. The three grades that placed were
third, fourth, and sixth. We also discussed giving the first grade a prize
because they raised the most money.

NEW BUSINESS 

Christopher Books presented the budget for the next school year. We are not
sure if our donation for the third grade plays will continue. The projected
starting balance for the school year next year is $37,922.24 Our projected end of the year balance is $27,747.24. We discussed adding doing our own
concessions at PTO events such as the dance. We also discussed doing a
Raisecraze fundraiser which would be an acts of kindness fundraiser. We will
also reconsider increasing the budgeting for advertising.

Basket raffle will be this Saturday, 4/20. Winners must be present to win.
Day of Awesomeness is coming up on April 26th. We will be looking for
volunteers to help out that day.
