H.A.R.T. MINUTES-MAY 2012
The meeting was called to order at 6:35 p.m.on May 2,2012 by President Karen Wojtowicz.
In attendance were: Officers: President Karen Wojtowicz, Vice President Sue Griscavage, Treasurer Linda Hoy, Secretary Suzanne Kuijpers and Advisor Mr. Shirvinski. Parents: Danee Ryter-McCoog, Stacey Fenstermacher, Karen Cecco, Dawna Knoebel, Kristene Baldwin, Terry Genners, Sherry Humphrey, Richard Miller, Dawn Knoebel and Michelle Conway.
Sue Griscavage gave the Vice President's Report.She noted that Teacher Appreciation Week was going well and seems to be greatly enjoyed by all the teachers. Sue said that some gifts were raffled off for the teachers. The raffle prizes were Sheetz coupons, Massages and flowers. The budgeted amount for teacher appreciation was $1000.00 but only $496.66 was spent due to donations from individuals and businesses.
Sue also spoke about the Hartman Helper Luncheon which is May 14th at 12:00 in the large group area.
Sue presented gifts to the outgoing HART officers on behalf of HART and the parents. Gifts were given to President Karen Wojtowicz and Secretary Suzanne Kuijpers as a thank you for their service.
Linda Hoy gave the Treasurer's Report. The general fund balance stands at $21,132.80. The class funds are as follows:
Kindergarten: $0
1st Grade: $0
2nd Grade: $2,318.09
3rd Grade: $988.53
4th Grade: $1,616.69
Linda noted that Kindergarten and 1st Grade are in the negative due to payments for their field trips. These amounts do not reflect money raised at the Hartman Hustle which will give them a balance.
Linda explained that the total raised at The Hartman Hustle is $11,204.36, however, deductions will come out of this amount. Sue Griscavage commented that the event was very well organized and seemed like a great success. Linda said that the top 3 classes for The Hustle are as follows: Mrs. Spotts class who won a snow cone party, Mrs. Gratti's class who won a kickball with Mr. Shirvinski game, and Mrs. Sharrow's class who won a pizza party. On May 17th the Limo To Lunch With Mr. Shirvinski will take place for the top students in each grade.
Linda thanked all those who volunteered their time at The Hartman Hustle. Mr. Shirvinski thanked Linda for organizing the event as well. Linda also gave thanks to those who donated items used as prizes: Knoebel's who donated tickets, Michelle Conway who donated frisbees, etc., and Terry Genners who donated "Thirty One" bags.
There was a motion to approve the Treasurer's report by Terry Genners and a second from Dawn Knoebel. The Treasurer's Report was then approved.
Suzanne Kuijpers gave the Secretary's Report which consisted of only a review of the April Minutes. The April Minutes were approved with a motion from Rich Miller and a second from Michelle Conway.
Mr. Shirvinski gave the Principal's Report. A check in the amount of $1914.94 was received from Box Tops. Mr. Shirvinski talked about the AR Reward in which he will be made into a human sundae. This event will take place on May 9th at 10:20 a.m.. Mr Shirvinski told everyone that HART will be getting a new area where Title 1 Reading used to be. He also told those present that Movin' On Up Day will take place on May 24th with letters going home with students on May23rd. There was also discussion about the 4th Grade tee shirts and how they will be paid for.
Mr. Shirvinski talked about 2 summer programs for students. "Ready, Set, Grow" is for students who will be entering Kindergarten in the Fall. This program has been in place since 2005 and is very beneficial to students who need a little extra help and encouragement. There is no bus transportation so parents need to provide transportation for their children. There is a maximum of 25 students and there is currently a waiting list. The other program is a Reading Program done in conjunction with Bloomsburg University and is for students in K-4 with reading difficulties.
Mr. Shirvinski also talked about the Knoebel's Day which will be held on May 30th. There will be no rain date , however, it was determined that HART will provide a $10.00 book of tickets to students if the weather is too bad for the school to be able to go on the trip. Mr. Shirvinski noted that if students owe $ for lost books or owe $ for unpaid lunches, they will not be able to attend the Knoebel's trip. Parents will be notified in the event that any money is past due.
Mr. Shirvinski informed those present that a school nurse must accompany field trips. This is a state policy and so the nurse must be a school nurse and not just someone from outside the school.
He said that the school's spelling bee was a huge success and will probably take place again next year.
There was some discussion at this point of the meeting about The Fit For Funds Fundraiser. There was a vote to see if we should do it again next year. This vote was approved with a motion from Kristene Baldwin and a second from Karen Cecco. Richard Miller suggested doing a 15/5 split of the fee that needs to be paid to Tara from Fit For Funds and also suggested a 70/30 split for general funds and class funds. His motion was declined due to no other votes for his suggestions.It was decided through a motion by Michelle Conway and a second from Sue Griscavage, to give Tara her fee 10% this year and 10% next year. The class funds will receive 75% and the general funds will receive 25%--this was voted on with a motion from Rich Miller and a second from Kristene Baldwin.
The following are Box Top only totals for top classrooms:
Mrs. Spotts-2526
Mrs. Rhodes-2001
Mrs. Pfirman-1888
Mrs. Gratti-1819
There was discussion about looking for area businesses who would allow us to place drop off boxes for box tops and labels in their establishments.
Karen introduced the 2 new HART officers to everyone at the meeting. Our new HART President for next school year will be Terry Genners and our new HART Secretary will be Kristene Baldwin.
Our Spring Book Fair amount was $ 10,937.55. Mr. Shirvinski announced that there will be only one book fair per school year as of Fall 2012.Thank you to all those who volunteered at Book Fair and to Danee for organizing it!
Mr. Shirvinski made a motion to pay 50% of the 4th Grade tee shirts and the other 50% will be from their class funds. This was approved with a second from Linda Hoy.
The Back To School BBQ was another topic of discussion at the meeting.The possibility of changing the time was debated because it has interfered with sports practices and sometimes with people's work schedules.There was a motion by Karen Wojtowicz to not have The Back To School BBQ prior to the start of school which received a second from Karen Cecco. The discussion of whether or not to have the event after the start of school will take place at the summer officer's meeting.
Karen Wojtowicz mentioned that Mrs. Brown needs help setting up for the Art Show. The Art Show will be held on May16th from 6:00-8:00 p.m.. Contact Mrs. Brown if you are able to help.
There was also some discussion of how new people could be encouraged to attend monthly HART meetings.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:08 p.m. with a motion from Karen Cecco and a second from Danee Ryter McCoog
