Present: Ms. Maino, Kendal Savelli, Virginia Carroll, Fr.
McCain, James Wilson, Lori Limchayseng
6:10 Fr. McCain opened the meeting with a prayer.
Prior Minutes: A motion was made to approve the minutes. It
was seconded and passed.
Old Business: Plans were discussed regarding the A’s game
fundraiser. It was decided that the PTG would not organize a
tailgate party. Participants can plan that individually.
Kindergarten orientation, August 24th, was also discussed
and Ms. Maino recommended that board members be available
that day to answer questions and discuss the role of PTG in
the school.
New Business:
Fr. McCain:
• “Late Night Catechism”—This fundraiser is being planned in
conjunction with the parish. It will be Saturday, February
25th. Tickets will be $35/person and concessions will be
sold during the performance. Profits will be shared between
the school and the parish.
• The Annual Crab Feed—This was discussed in regard to who
will be inheriting the organization of the event. This year
the Knights will have the Crab feed but the Board needs to
be looking to the future when the Battaglias leave the
school.
• Lenten fundraiser—Fr. McCain encouraged the board to
continue this tradition to provide an example of sacrifice
and service for the students. It was suggested that we
involve the student government in making that decision.
• General PTG meeting goals—Suggestions included yearly
speakers on topics appropriate for different audiences, i.e.
internet safely, behavioral problems, attitudes, etc. It was
mentioned several times that it is necessary to figure out a
way to increase attendance of those meetings.
Ms. Maino:
• Parent Support Worksheet—This was provided to the board
and it was reviewed.
• New shades—These were paid for by the “Fund in Need” and
have been installed throughout the school.
• “Head Master Pro”--This new computer database is being
installed that will connect the computers on campus. The
program was purchased by the PTG for the school.
• Electives--Curriculum is set for electives for the middle
school on Wednesdays from 2:00-3:00 and will include classes
such as economics, chess, etc.
• Brainteasers-- These will be incorporated into the
student’s day to help stretch logic and thinking “outside
the box”. There will be one per week and will include a
reward system to keep students interested.
• Parish Picnic-- Scheduled for September 25th this year.
Participation from the school is encouraged.
• Computer tables—New tables were requested from one of the
teachers in order to get the hard drives off the floor.
There had been a prior motion that had been approved in
regard to this issue. It was suggested that the tables could
be one of the “Fund in Need” items for this year’s auction.
Financials: Virginia presented the financials. It was
suggested that the Board review them and come prepared next
month to discuss them in detail.
Proposal:
Kendal:
• Patio tables—The information was researched and presented.
It was proposed that we purchase 2 square tables, with
benches and umbrellas for the courtyard to replace the
current plastic ones. Total price for the upgrade including
delivery would be approximately $1750. A motion was made to
approve the tables. It was seconded and passed. They will be
in the courtyard before the Kindergarten orientation.
• Parish Golf tournament—This event is coming up and they
are still seeking sponsorships. It was proposed that the PTG
provide a $250 sponsorship. A motion was made to approve the
sponsorship. It was seconded and passed.
• Back to School Coffee--It was suggested that the Board set
up a table to help field questions and direct new parents to
appropriate service areas. It would also be important to
promote other parish groups such as the Knights of Columbus,
Helping Hands, and the Catholic Daughters of America,
especially since these groups contribute to the school and
provide scholarships.
Meeting adjourned at 8:00 p.m.
