Walworth Parent’s Club Minutes - Tuesday February 10, 2015
Respectfully submitted by Rebecca Roehl

Members Present:
Officers: Nikki Kling (President), Valerie Gibbs (Vice President), Rebecca Roehl (Treasurer)
Staff: Mandi Ausitn, Nichole Crusan, Kelly Freeman, April Antonson, Brent Wilson, Dora Alcozer
Parents: Cindy Nordmeyer, Nicole Kinane, Ann Rohe, Debra Amann, Kevin Kling

Call to Order 7:05 Motion: 1st Cindy Nordmeyer 2nd Ann Rohe
Introductions
Approval of Minutes No Discussion Motion: 1st Ann Roe, 2nd Kevin Kling
Treasurer’s Report: Rebecca Roehl
January budget was reviewed.  Income earned from Market Day and Box Tops.  Few clarifications were made.  Budget was accepted.         
Communication from the Public:
            Hwy 14 Update: Kelly Freeman (School Board President)
About 40 residents attended last week’s public hearing meeting.  The current “West Plan” is the favorite among DOT and Village Board.  It puts Hwy 14 71ft from the school.  The School Board prefers the “East Plan” and requests public outreach to help get their side heard.  The next Village Board meeting is March 9 and it was suggested that as many people as possible attend this meeting to let the school board know how parents and community members feel about the construction plans. The Antique Mall will be torn down sometime this spring.  School officials requested it come down during spring break week and that grass be planted in its place.  It was also noted that the village board needs to petition the DOT in order to make the speed limit on the highway near the school a “school zone.”
Monthly Updates
            Income Sources
                        Market Day: Cindy Nordmeyer
                          We will no longer have a rep from Market Day present at our monthly Saturday pick-ups.  In place of the rep an office from Parent’s Club needs to be present to help deal with the money.  Pick-up is once a month with the truck arriving at 9am and pickup ending at 10:30. Cash and Checks will need to be mailed to Market Day as the majority of our orders come from people who pay at pick-up and not prepay online.  Monthy summaries will now be emailed to treasurer.
                          Box Tops: Nichole Crusan
                          Box Top contest is in full swing.  Students can earn a free ticket to a Milwaukee Wave game if they bring in 10 box tops.  We are wondering if this is possibly hurting us as perhaps people are only saving 10 box tops to receive ticket and not sending in more.  The group is still working on nailing down a middle school incentive in hopes to gain more participation at the middle school level.
                          Labels for Education: Valerie Gibbs
                          Labels for Education is ending E-points at the end of July
                          Target
                          Continue to use your Red card and sign up Walworth Elementary and Middle School at your beneficiary.  We are anticipating a check from Target in February.
                          Other Business:
Continue to collect Sentry Receipts and Pop Tops and turn them into the school.
New and Reoccuring Business:
            Yess Committee:
Bingo night was a success. Thank you so everyone who donated baked goods.  The committee is planning a family night for the near future.  More information to follow.
            Robotics Fund Request: Mandi Austin/Kimberly Kleich
The 5th-8th grade Robotics Club requested $400 to pay for the bus to their upcoming competition.  The robotics club consists of 25 students (5 teams).  After some discussion it was decided that we would give $275 towards the bus.  Leaving the students to pay approximately $5 each for the bus.  (Motions: 1st Cindy Nordmeyer, 2nd Debra Amann)
            Wellness Committee Request: April Antonson
The Wellness Committee is looking to do a run/walk this year as a fun, school pride/unity building activity this year.  They are considering a color run or an obstacle run.  This could possibly tie into the end of the year field day.  With a separate run for the middle school the day before. The committee requested help with funding the race and the purchasing of color powder for a color run.  The numbers presented ($6.99/lb) were determined to not be feasible and the committee will look at other options and present a more detailed plan and fund request at the March meeting.
Staff Appreciation Week
Week of April 27-May 1.  We are open to any ideas and volunteers to help may this week a good one for our teachers.  Thank you to those who have already volunteered.
            Graduation
                        Please let an officer know if you are interested in helping with Graduation.
            School Spirit Wear
                        Still waiting on bill
            Pizza Party for Fundraiser Top Sellers

            School Supply Kits
Nikki Kling has been working to get this fundraiser organized.  The dates are being finalized and information is going out to, and being gathered from, the teachers and school staff.  The kits will be able to be picked up during the July registration dates.
Ice Cream Social/Art Fair
                          The date for the Art Fair/Ice Cream Social/YESS committee Game Exchange is Tuesday, May 12.  Mr. Wilson has been working with the teachers in order to have themes and baskets created.  The deadline for turning in baskets is May 1. Parent’s Club will then create a list of all items in the baskets to be viewed by people at the auction.  If you are interested in helping with this event please let an officer know.
            Spring Cookie Fundraiser
We will be receiving the fundraising packets on Feb. 18.  The fundraiser will be being on Friday Feb. 27 with a kick-off assembly during the school day. Order forms will be due March 16 and online orders must be completed by March 22.  Pick up of purchased items will be April 13 from after school until approximately 5:30.

Treasurer’s Report: Rebecca Roehl
February budget was reviewed.  Income earned from Market Day and Target.  Money was paid for indoor recess DVDs, Robotics bus, and Red Ribbon Week.

They started utility work outside Antique building, inside demolition starting in the next couple of weeks.  The building itself will be coming down mid-June as they will mostly need the whole parking lot for demolition.
At Parent-Teacher conferences the school will be conducting a mini-survey to find out if more people favor the East or West plan.
            Testing Changes: Mr. Wilson
The Green lab will be open for parents during Parent-Teacher conferences for parents to take a practice Wisconsin Badger Exam.  This test replaced the WKCE but will not include the language arts test this year. 
Also the promotion policy of the school has changed to deal with the new tests.  The new policy places more emphasis on grades.  All BFAS (Big Foot Area Schools) has the same policy.

Graduation
We will be contacting 7th grade parents to see if they care interested in helping with graduation.  People will be needed to help set up right after lunch, right before graduation, serving punch, and cleaning up. Please let an officer know if you are interested in helping with Graduation.
End of the Year Event:
This event will be held June 9th with a possible “rain date” of June 8th.  This event will include Parent’s Club run Field Day and the Wellness Committee run Color Run.  The run will be for grades K-4 and will be held on the field by the church behind the school.  Stations for the Field Day will be planed around the schedule for the Color Run. We are looking into which staff are available to help with the field day portion of this event.  Also we are going to explore the option of 8th grade or high school volunteers helping to run stations.
April Antonson, representing the Wellness Committee, presented a request for money to purchase color powder for the end of the year color run.  Mrs. Schauf made a motion and it was seconded by Mrs. Coleman and Parent’s Club approved funding, up to $425, for color powder.
