We are looking at holding a bowling party as a field trip on Monday November 25 and Tuesday November 26 as a give back for the kids and families for the money brought in so far this year. They will be separated by grade K-3 and 4-6. There will be busing for the students. Pricing at Echo Lanes in Warren was $6 per child, which comes to roughly $1218. We would also pay for staff to get in. Chaperones would have to pay for their ticket. We will once again sign up with a raffle system for this event. We are able to bring in food to this event if needed. The time of this event is not set and children may be back in time for lunch. As of 10/09 the bowling alley was available on both days and balls, bumpers, and shooters will be free of charge. Tennis shoes can be worn instead of bowling shoes. A $2000 budget was approved for this event. Stephanie Danadic is head of this event. **Still need approval by administration and can change based on teacher scheduling

A motion was brought up by Stephanie Danadic to give Mr. Z $200 raised from coin wars to his principals fund. He so graciously allowed us to slime him and we would love to give him something back. $200 was approved by all in attendance. A check will either be written or we will purchase items he needs.

Jenn Lee has donated items to give to all the students in Christmas Stockings for a gift to the kids at Christmas. 

Samantha Clemens will be head of this event.

Motion adjourned at 7:07PM on October 9th.
