Open House- Successful for PTSO- sold almost all Spirit Wear and got tons of volunteers for events- We have new lawn signs for sale $10

Requests for Funds-

-Spirit Wear to purchase more shirts and to give a standing order to purchase Spirit Wear shirts as needed, motioned, seconded, passed

-Sweatshirts for Amities- need $88, motioned, seconded, passed

-Movie License- $100 per night

1 year is $375 2 years $675 3 years $900 4 years $1,050 5 years $1,125

Alternative presented- go away from movie nights, do a game night, do a craft night, will save us money- no other schools in the district pays a movie license, the problem is we do not have enough volunteers/man power or people willing to coordinate these family fun nights, another proposal to just purchase one night at a time, Marta would check with district lawyers, we will discuss further and vote in October

Family Fun Night- November 15th- would like to earmark for music department- motioned, seconded and passed

Quickbooks- $250 to purchase new version and $25 to transfer next year- motioned, seconded, passed
