The PTA board has voted how the proceeds from the fundraiser will be shared with teachers. Thirty percent (30%) of the total profit from the fall fundraiser will be shared with homeroom teachers. This percentage is different than the 50% share from individual class sales. The PTA also voted to create a very substantial teacher resource and support line item in the budget for this year. Teachers (any, not just classroom teachers) will be allowed to request monies from this fund to support many of the supplies and materials we could not get because of changes to the supply list and cuts to the budget. The process will be detailed at a later time. Teachers are encouraged to push the fundraiser because the larger the profit margin, the larger the initial 30% share and the larger the supply budget can be.
PBS-
Today we will show just the cafeteria expectation portion of the PBS video and review cafeteria pride. Students need to be reminded that whenever they are in the cafeteria, the rules apply (breakfast or lunch). Please take a minute to review these rules as well.
The PBS committee is asking teachers to make a conscious effort to model the appropriate voice volumes throughout the building. Students must observe us using voice volume 0, 1 or 2 as well as expectign them to do so as well.
Please keep Charlotte Ledford, one of our cafeteria servers, in your thoughts and prayers. he brother passed away yesterday.
