·        Vertus training has been scheduled for February 25th in the parish hall.  Anyone who works with our students needs to attend the training.  Registration should be done in advance on-line.

There is still some confusion about the hot-dog day.  SLPA not sure who is responsible for running it.  It is still not clear why there are not special lunches.  The faculty/staff decided to do a free hot dog lunch before the holidays and during Catholic School’s week there was another one, which families were charged for.  Per Larry White, they made enough money to have one more with no charge to the families.

 

Rebecca Harrazin who has been the SLPA/SLSC liaison will be moving.  Elda Rodogna volunteered to be the new liaison. 

 

Marketing:

·        A date is being set for the preschool/kindergarten open house.

·        Vicki will be working with Lily Ortega on marketing and will need to more people to help out.

·        Marketing committee would like a new school logo.  A suggestion was made to have a contest with the students. Mr. White will follow up with that.

Alumni:           No report        

 

New business:           

  • School raffle to sell raffle books at $20 each, prize would be a year free tuition.  This was discussed and it was decided that we might consider doing this on a smaller scale, for example a month free tuition rather than a year.  We might consider doing this at the start of the school year. We will table this until March meeting. 
  • Children’s resale – a suggestion was made to have a “rummage” type sale over the summer.  We can sell tables for a set fee.  The people who buy a table would be responsible for setting up and cleaning up all their items. This will be tabled until March.  We would need to have someone chair this fundraiser.
  • Chance to Believe Committee is requesting help from all the organizations of the school/parish for donations for the fundraiser.  The board voted and approved to donate $100 to the committee.   

 

Closing prayer:          Fr. McQuaid
