Winter Festival Plans: Theme: 80s sneakers party, donating gently used sneakers. Need a coordinator. Elisa Graybell will make robot for
sneaker box; potentially paint a backdrop. Tentatively plan for a January date, and push Sock Hop Family Dance into March.

Fundraising with purpose: With each fundraiser, communicate what event/cause the fundraiser is supporting.


PAC website: Full of great information; look there for answers about library, meeting agendas, spring baskets for garden, etc.


Concern raised by parent: How can we help kids who are going without lunch because they can’t afford food? Post info about Sherwood
