Mr. Fetterman had a couple things to discuss.  He mentioned that the field trips that were considered changing can possibly stay the same with the help of school buses.

He is unsure about the date for the Knoebels trip at the end of year due to the snow make ups.  Skate party planning is under going.

Lynn mentioned as of right now March 8 and 9 are the tentative dates.  They are giving us a good discount on the rental of the skating ring.  HART is going to pay the entry fee but the students need to pay for their skates.  We can bring in snacks and water will be provided.  Saturday will be 4:15-6:15 and Sunday 4:30-6:30.  We will be asking for help with snacks.  Next everyone discussed how we will work the dates but everyone decided that the students can go either day.

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 18^th.  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.

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.

Secretary’s report was next.  Amy Snyder just asked for a review and approval of May minutes.  A 1^st motion from Dawn Knoebel and a second from Karen Wojtowicz.

Mr. Shirvinski thanked everyone for all their work to make the opening of the school year  run smoothly.  He also asked for some feedback from kindergarten orientation.  Jen Dunkleberger gave some feedback along with Michele Williams.  He then discussed the Hartman Helpers program, which is a long term volunteer program. He said there are lots of places that could use helpers such as library or art. Also the volunteer needs to have their clearances along with TB Test.  Information would be coming home shortly.   Next Mr. Shirvinski went over his Activities account and what funds it.  School pictures were $1,000, Giant rewards program $1,255.07, Box tops $2,719.  This account pays for things like Grandparents Day and PSSA Breakfast along with many others.  Next he announced that “Pennies for our Playground” is getting $5,000 from this account toward their total and all incoming box top money was going to go to that fund.  Sherry mentioned that with this contribution, pennies committee is at a total of $18,732.34.  Grandparent’s day is September 18 & 19^th.  Meet and greet is also coming up.
