Fundraisers

• The proceeds from the Scholastic Book Fair were received in the form of a check.  This will be exchanged for a voucher, which doubles the value of what Ms. Perry can purchase. 
   
• Barbara mentioned that although some of the children were disappointed that they never received the books they wanted (i.e. sold out), she would recommend that we continue to use Scholastic as the book fair vendor. She stressed that the company understood our disappointment with their service and was given the assurance that we are a valued customer and would certainly see an improvement next year.
   
• Approximately $9,000 will be in the PTA budget at the start of the 06/07 school year.
