NEW BUSINESS/ANNOUNCEMENTS

End of Year Gift to SCS for spring 2023 (previous school year): School is interested in PAC purchasing a smart board or other digital
equipment for classrooms. The $1200 from PAC for the previous school year will not cover the purchase of that kind gift. Hadar suggests
rolling over $1200 from last school year, to combine with amount at end of 2023-2024.

Bottle Drop Fundraiser: Thursday, 9/21/23 (3:30-4:30pm).

DNO: Joe’s Burgers (9/28), MOD Pizza (10/26). Hadar checking on times for restaurant fundraisers.

PAC newsletter: Asking to have a graphic (with link) of the PAC newsletter at the bottom of the weekly school newsletter. Or a bubble
graphic within the school newsletter that links to the PAC newsletter.

Spirit Wear update: Kryste & Shannon handling spirit wear. Researching Dormers in Newberg. Considering adding pink, but needs to
be approved by office. Will order one pink sweatshirt, to check color. Order forms will go out after office approves colors. Screen printing
is significantly less expensive than embroidering. Timeline goal: Order forms out by 9/28; forms due by 10/12; delivery by 11/1.

8th grade sweatshirt – which emblem (fierce or gentle cougar)? House emblems on back.

Wreath/poinsettia Fundraiser update: Doing these fundraisers together. Fundraising price for poinsettia: $18; wreaths same as last year.
Deliver vouchers at wreath pickup. Orders due 11/14 for poinsettias. Wreath orders due 11/10. Sales for both begin 10/19.

Staff luncheons: Shannon & Sean handling first October luncheon. Office said staff appreciates luncheons (with themes).

Classroom representatives: goal is to have classroom reps give info to parents of classes.

Vote for new Treasurer position: Roxie nominates Heather Vergason. Kimberly seconds the nomination. Korrin moved to vote. Hadar
seconds the move to vote. Motion passes.

PAC Board Meeting - Sept. 20, 2023

Board members in attendance: Hadar Ferris (chair), Korrin Fyall (co-secretary), Roxie Anderson (co-treasurer)


Hadar called meeting to order at 8:00pm.


Approval of minutes from 4/6/23: Approval of minutes postponed to next meeting.


NEW BUSINESS –

Monsters for Wilson Candy Collection: At Kimberly’s house.

Heart Family Dance: Repeating 50s theme; people already have poodle skirts, and everyone enjoyed the Sock Hop.
New DJ needed; will check with Brian Cracker, last year’s DJ. Are last year’s decorations reusable & available? Date TBD.

Winter Festival Plans: Ms. Raboli mentioned having caroling again with Mrs. DuPriest’s help on music selection. Ms. Raboli
seems in favor of a low-key event; activity stations are too much like the harvest festival. Korrin has the snow balls in the garage
for a snow ball fight at the event.


Fundraisers: We desire to provide more community events, but need fundraisers to support this mission. The library is a separate
fundraiser, supporting only the library. The wreath fundraiser and bottle drop raise enough to cover our expenses and some
community events. But this will not allow us to give much money to the school in a year-end gift.


New fundraiser: gotsneakers.com – PAC receives $7/pair of gently used shoes.


End-of-year gift from 2022/23: In the past, PAC could give $10k to SCS because we ran Kids First; Kids First was replaced by
One Fund, which the school now runs, using proceeds for the school (not PAC). This decreases the amount we can give to the school
as a gift at the end of each school year.

Weekly emails: Hadar will create a PDF attachment, in color, similar to the school's newsletter, to be attached in the weekly
SCS emails.


Spirit Wear: SCS office will take over Spirit Wear next year.


Printing paper: PAC members may a print shop and get reimbursed. If Hadar decides it is easier to print from home, we will reimburse
paper and ink costs.



SCS Board Representative: To be assigned at next PAC board meeting.


Secretary of State due: Annual renewal for the PAC, but bi-annual for the DBA. Our legal name is not Sherwood Charter School
PAC; this is our DBA and only requires a bi-annual renewal. Roxie will handle the renewals and set the treasurer as the authorizing
representative.


Meeting adjourned at 8:41pm.
