Prairie Heights PTO agenda
October 7, 2020 6:00PM
1. Re-cap last month meeting. New PTO “staff” Emily president, Chelsea Treasurer, and
Casey Secretary. . Per Kari in business Office, PTO is starting off Negative $964.
Collected ideas for fall festival. Lastly, the PTO picked 2 fundraisers. Nature Vision to be
open all year with online sales only and School Holiday Shop.
2. Fundraiser Update: Nature vision is no longer hosting school fundraisers but suggested
Gifts N Things. GNTINC.com.
Papa Johns will do school fundraising nights. 20% of sales will be sent to the school.
Funds are paid out within 7-10 business days. Winning classroom/ teacher will win a
pizza party. Other perks include certificates for pizzas for different achievements like
perfect attendance ect. Teacher Appreciation week lunch for teachers. $6.00 large 1
topping pizzas for carnivals or festivals. Mascot will come to the schools to handout
stickers to remind students and parents about our school nights if we do 3 or more
dates. 50% off code for district staff for every Friday of the month. What dates would we
like to choose? Thoughts on doing one approx. a month before our next event to try to
raise funds for that specific event?
School Holiday Shop is almost unreachable. Left VM for Michelle at Ext 10 twice and
Chris Stevens Ext 11 twice. Chris left VM that they are only in the office one or two days
a week and would get back to me asap. Hopefully we will still receive the extra incentive.
What dates would we like to do this so we can be ready when we do receive a call back?
