Thank you to everyone who continues to send in the Labels For Education and the Box Tops!

They will soon be shipping the items people were missing. People are able to return items to the store for exchange if they desire. Mr. Shirvinski stressed that the entire mix up with shipping was the fault of Yankee and not HART. He added that HART did everything correctly and also Allison did a great job handling this difficult situation. Mr. Shirvinski said that he recently spoke to the Yankee President of Fundraising Division and he wants to do something for HART to make the situation right. He will be contacting Mr. Shirvinski soon to discuss what he can do.

Lowe's was contacted as well but they do not donate kits, etc. We discussed the possibility of purchasing something additional for those coming to the event with more than one child.
Linda Hoy discussed the Spring Fundraiser. We have already committed to Gertrude Hawk, however, we learned at this meeting that we are not committed in future years even if the Middle School does it. We discussed the possibility of doing Race For Education in the future. It was mentioned by several people that the Race For Education has been very profitable for other schools. This is a consideration for next Fall. It was also discussed if we should offer another option with Gertrude Hawk for the Spring. Another fundraiser meeting will be held to iron out these details and a sign up sheet was available after the meeting.
There is $11,000 in an account from the Book Fair to purchase books for the school (classrooms and Reading Room). The next Book Fair will take place April 4-11 with the Reading Night event on April 8.
