Last year the Hartman Hustle raised $9545, this year was $6093.71.  Sue mentioned she liked having it on the same day at the Harvest festival due to the fact that if a parent took off for the festival they would also be able to see their child at the Hustle as well.

Sue spoke with Mrs. Schu and asked about the cancelled field trip to Hershey.  She said it was due to the fact that Mr. Shirvinski said they couldn’t have charter buses.  Sue was going to talk to the team leaders in first grade and see if they would like to condense the schedule in Hershey to still be able to do that field trip  or if they were just going to pick a new field trip
