New Business:
The possibility of an additional fundraiser was discussed. It was decided that if one project need funding and our balance was down we would have a fund raiser specifically for the project.
Box Tops For Education sent us a check totaling $1,3970.00. We want to publicize this in church bulletins and Liberty Life to thank everyone for participating and encourage them to keep collecting.
The final awards assembly is June 3rd. Character pins need to be finished by then.
There has been interest in evening meetings. LAPAT committed to two meeting next year in the evening. Our first will be September 13th at 7:00.
Several Thank You cards were read from Girls On the Move, Second Graders, and Mrs. Yeager.
It was suggested that next year that each homeroom teacher ask one parent to become a “Homeroom LAPAT Parent”. These would be individuals that could attend some meetings and help out on big projects.
