The meeting started with Vice President Sue Griscavage asking if everyone in attendance that wanted to sign up for homeroom parent did so already.  She also mentioned that there are some homerooms without any parent volunteers. 

Next Linda asked everyone to review the Treasures report.  First motion to Approve was Jen Dunkelberger and a 2nd by Lynn Madden.

Next was review of Secretary Minutes for September.  A correction is need with the month in the first section of the minutes from October to September.  Also Judy Ann Weaver to Judy Lynn Weaver.  First motion from Sherry Humphrey and a 2nd from Christi Moncavage.

President Terry Genners reviewed old business.  She thanked everyone for their help with grandparent’s day.  Sue gave some input as to how grandparent’s day went.  She said Regina from the cafeteria had everything ready.  She had everything set up and decorated and already had food ready.  She was amazing.  Sue also mentioned that Mr. Shirvinski sponsored this event from the activities account. 

Next Sherry gave an update for the pennies committee and box tops to this point.  She started by saying that the kids did a great job with the start of the box top kick off and definitely earned a PJ day and she proposed October 18th.  She also asked that if everyone could remember to not paste the box top bonuses on the regular sheets.  If they could please keep those separate.  Also reminded everyone that you can only paste on one side.  Also one parent sent in a letter of concern with the new guidelines set for collection.  Sue suggested using old homework sheets to return box tops.   Sherry next spoke about upcoming fundraisers for pennies committee.  There will be a Brewser’s night and a trip to NY City.  The bake sale raised $130.19 and the craft fair raised $285.

Picture Day is set for October 16.

Fire Safety Day for kindergarten, first and third grades is set for October 9.  Breakfast is set for 8:15-9.  HART supplies breakfast and lunch. 

Tie day is October 15.

Act 80 Day, October 14, there is no school.

Crayon Day is set for October 22, wear your favorite color.

Hartman Hustle is October 25 along with the Harvest Festival.  The Harvest Festival is making progress for the event.  Sue gave us some information. There will be a craft and bounce houses.  We will be doing the food drive as in past years.  Thus far there are 17 games to be played on the playground.  Next meeting will be October 16th at 6.  We do need as many volunteers as possible with both the festival and hustle going on.  There will also be the Relay recess.  There will not be a t-shirt this year.

Linda also mentioned that the BINGO that was going to be planned for the fall is going to be postponed.  Linda also gave some information on the Hartman Hustle.  The top three classes will earn prizes, such as ice cream party, pizza party and kickball with possibly Mr. Deeter.  Individual prizes such as gift cards and whatever Linda would get donated. 
Jen Dunkelberger raised the question as to whether we thought the donations would be lower due to not having a minimum amount to get prize.  So everyone discussed putting a minimum amount of $10 to be eligible for prizes.  Someone suggested Knoebel tickets as a possible prize and Dawn Knoebel said she could look into it.  Angela Charnosky asked when the drawing would be held, Linda mentioned not that day and a date was set for November 1.  There was some concern as to gift card amount and donation minimum.  Linda mentioned that we have $200 to spend.  Next Linda explained to the newer parents what the hustle is and how it works.   Linda will work on donations and give an update at harvest festival meeting. 

Sue asked if anyone else was interested in the Hartman helping hands volunteers as the meeting is coming up soon.  Bob expressed his concern with all that needs to be done to volunteer. 

Fall book fair will be held October 28-November 1.

Next Terry read the by laws in regards to the homeroom parent, since they will be picked at the end of the meeting.

Linda asked if everyone was in agreement for Gertrude Hawk for spring.  She also mentioned script cards instead of Sheetz since price is going up and we aren’t making as much.   Jen Dunkelberger suggested doing Gertrude Hawk with script cards.

Linda and Sue mentioned that all money that is coming in from the usual HART donation is going directly to that student’s class funds instead of HART.

Sherry added that the Target contest that was going on ended and we got $342.

Next Sue picked homeroom parents.
