Teacher Appreciation: Jen Crosby coordinating. Will the office permit PAC to honor teachers with “stepping stones” ceremonies each day of Teacher Appreciation Week?

Dining Night Out: 4/16 – Panera Bread (Sherwood), 4-8pm 

Harvest Festival: Committee needed. Kryste Sturm, Roxie Anderson, Korrin Fyall tentatively available to help with committee.

Volunteers needed: The office has requested that PAC move tables for Celebration of Learning. Students cannot be involved because of liability. PAC’s ability to motivate volunteers is minimal, without help from office in promoting the need. We will let the office know we are happy to mention this need in our newsletter, and direct potential volunteers to contact the office. But we cannot carry the responsibility for the tables.

Library software: SCS Board wants to see PAC budget before considering helping pay for library software. SCS Office no longer promotes PAC fundraisers, which pay for the library. Our ability to fundraise continues to decrease. Korrin has evaluated library fundraisers from 2019 to current year, which shows a marked decrease in library funds raised.
