Scholastic book Recap:
When we hold book fairs, we receive our profit in ‘scholastic dollars’. We give those scholastic dollars to the librarian, to purchase new books for the library when needed. We had some built-up scholastic funds built up from over the years. We have about $2800 in scholastic dollars. In a previous vote, it was approved in a previous meeting for $400 of that to be used for Spanish translated books, and another $400 to be used for Russian translated books. Scholastic does not have Russian translated books. Executive board voted to allow the librarian to spend that $400 on more Spanish translated books. We are now asking for a vote to allow the board to purchase $400 worth of Russian translated books from outside sources. The funds would come from the LPSG general fund
Vote – Unanimously approved
McMenamins Fundraiser:
We raised $4709. This was previously voted on spending it on a year of Volleyball and Basketball for the next school year. The district has cancelled their funding for these sports, so we would like to cover it. We are now asking for a vote to allow the board to use the remaining proceeds on the outdoor playground space. We are unsure of how we will use that money as of now, depending on district approval, but it will go to the playground, either a structure or new toys/games for the students to use at recess.
Vote – Unanimously approved
Court of Creativity Fundraiser:
We were a top 10 finalist, which earned us $1000. The board would like to use those funds in two different areas. First it would be $500 to recess equipment. The remaining $500 to go to 5th grade graduations
Vote – Unanimously approved
Throughout the year, volunteer Kristy has made costumes for our Loggy mascot. The board would like to take $50 out of the student engagement fund to get Kristy a gift card to a craft store.
Vote – Unanimously approved
Gym fan:
Students have said that the gym is getting hot. Jennalee has talked with building maintenance about if we are allowed to get an industrial standing fan. We were given some district approved options. The board would like to propose a vote to purchase a 42-inch fan, which costs $399. This fan can be used doing PE, school events, etc.
Vote – Unanimously Approved
Makerspace
Paraeducator Mona has asked if we could purchase a cardboard cutter for the makerspace. As of now, students are using adult scissors to cut cardboard. The Cardboard cutter is a much safer alternative. It costs $299, but there is a $50 off coupon on it right now, making it $249.
Vote – Unanimously approved
No questions or concerns were raised
Meeting adjourned at 6:45 pm
