Talking in hallways has increased, with offenders being mostly
adults; 2) Parents who eat lunch
with their children are not cleaning up after themselves; and 3) Volunteers haven’t been signing in. They have been seen in the hallways
without stickers. It is important
for school safety that ALL volunteers/visitors sign in at the main office.
·
Reading Incentives (Amber Dow): She is waiting for storyteller to return
her calls. He is scheduled for April
13th.
·
Teachers Representative (Kerri
Creech): Teacher’s loved Death by
Chocolate event; The Kids Art Fair made $3500. Kerri will chair the event again next
year, noting areas for improvement;
5th Grade Field trip is scheduled for April 7-9; Teacher’s need to spend their $100
allocation by March 31st;
The 3-5 grades went to the ACC Women’s Basketball tournament and
loved it, as did the teachers and parents.

powered Puff Mobiles, consisting of straw, wooden wheels and sails. A race will be held at the event’s

PTA board members offered to help.
Pizza will be ordered for the A&T students.
·
Visiting Author: Nothing new to report. Linda Vaughn will come to CMT meeting and
share further information on Thursday.
Some children are getting acquainted with the author through books

a vendor table; Since prizes cannot
