Open Floor Discussion:

• Question was brought up about involvement with physical fitness for the classes this year by volunteers.  Heather Passey is willing to head up the volunteers again this year.  Not planning to do Presidential fitness again – too much tracking and manhours needed.  Suggestion to teach basic sports/games and rules (ie dodgeball, kickball, baseball)
• we need someone to be in charge of the PTA blog – Tricia Leininger volunteered to do it, Michelle Suitor will help her with existing blog set up
• major discussion on how to improve communication within the school community, need for webmaster for school website, how to integrate the blog, facebook, twitter to get info out to all parents
• Mike suggested to put a webcam on the school sign so we could check for info from online
• question brought up about after school programs and what will be available
• Discussion about when and where to have PTA meetings – evening hours were best for most present tonight, possibly meet at Whitmore library in the evening
• parents new to the school are wondering what is expected of them and how can they get involved and what exactly is there to be involved in.  Suggestion was made to have an open house forum at the next PTA meeting to explain what PTA does
• discussion about our great crossing guard Shirley and what can we do to thank her/help her feel appreciated

Meeting Adjourned at 7:55
