Minutes from St. Michael Parent Association meeting May 19, 2010.

  Meeting was called to order at 6:30 P.M.

  Denise Levesque led us in an opening prayer.

  A motion was made to accept the minutes from the March 4, 2010 meeting.

Treasurer’s Report- the Auction raised $12,692.00 and the book fair raised $462.00. We will be taking the Discount Cards and Library Enrichment and Endowment off the treasurer’s report as these items are not a part of the Parent Association. Tuition Raffle needs to raise about $7,700.00 more to reach our goal. We received a check from Hannaford Helps Schools for $400.00. The recycling of printer cartridges is going great, via Staples Rewards we have earned $2,700.00 for the school to buy supplies. The letters that Mr. Caron sent out regarding the outstanding parental obligation balances is having a great response. To date, we have received $800.00 of that outstanding balance. There was a question on why we have to fundraise so much, not only to keep tuition down but also the Bishop would like to see us fundraise as it “Builds community activity in the parish.”

Follow-Ups: Dinner and Auction- our auction was a huge success and it will be happening again in March 2011. The theme for next year’s event will be up for discussion. Any ideas?

Updates - School Tool Box kits sales are going slow but hope that once people see how it works sales will do better next year. We are not making a profit on these kits; we are offering them as a convenience to the families. Spring Fest will be held on June 11 th , there will be a field day in the morning for the children and in the afternoon there will be games. Golf Tournament - this item is going to be part of the Annual Fund project to offer tuition assistance to families that might need help and to fund other initiatives at the school. They are looking for sponsors for this tournament. The tournament will take place June 12, 2010 at Natanis Golf Course. Yearbooks - this is a very busy time of year for the yearbook committee. They are working hard on getting all information from graduating 8 th graders and spring sports and then the book has to be put together and approved and sent for print. They are taking orders and looking for sponsors. There will be no supplement this year.

School News- Mr. Caron shared with us the name of the person hired to be our new marketing person for next year. Catherine Carson Gabriel will bring to our school experience with auctions, a marketing background she also will be helping with the newsletter, bulletin, data base, grants, revenue sources and marketing St. Michael School . Welcome! A question was asked to Mr. Caron on how our enrollment is going for next year, 263 students was the budgeted amount for next year, that total is down from our current 300 enrolled this year, as we are graduating 50 eighth graders. We are still accepting new students.

Voting on 2010/2011 Parent Association Board Members- no new nominations, current members were nominated and approved and second. Denise Levesque and Suzanne Rodrigue are Chair and Co-Chair, Jennifer Green Secretary, Deanna Lefebre and Marie Charest are Treasurer and Co-Treasurer.

Proposed 2010/2011 Fundraisers and Socials- We will be having the Christmas Fair, Stocking Stuffers, Magazine Drive , Dinner and Auction and Basket Bingo for the upcoming school year. The Harvest Dance is a social event in October. The St. Michael School Poinsettia sale was one of the top sellers for Longfellow’s Greenhouses this past November. Barnes and Noble book fair will take place in December with a Christmas theme (proceeds from this event are earmarked for Children’s Stage Adventure). Catholic Schools Week- we are looking into the Parent Association participating more on this event. It was suggested to have a Discover the Arts Day a full day spent on clay projects, mask making, music, African Dance, Johnson Hall and Harlow Galleries. Filling the gym with booths offering different art experiences. New to the school we are looking into Kids Art. Children are asked to draw some art work and parents can order their child’s art work on different items like mouse pads, cards, magnets, key chains, tee-shirts, etc. Great gift ideas. We will not be participating in the Capri-Sun fundraiser or the Snack Cart at games or Discount Cards.

Questions/Comments- Comment was made that the Johnson Hall did a wonderful event with our children and many parents expressed how wonderful the program was. Thank you Johnson Hall for guiding our children in producing a wonderful show. A parent asked “Why don’t we offer reduced or free lunch program? Why don’t we participate in a government program?” Nancy Berg does not participate in this program. She is a private business that the school hires to do our school lunches. Linda Albert explained the way the program worked at St. Augustine and how it differs from our current program. We have a lot of children that choose not to have hot lunch on a daily basis and this would affect a free/reduced program. There for it would be hard to implement such a program at our schools. If parents are having a hard time providing lunches for their children they are encouraged to speak with the office and see if there are other alternatives to help them with this problem.

Stocking Stuffer Winners- June $50.00 #2421 Kathie Parlin(which she graciously donated to the school annual fund when she was informed of her winnings...Thank you Mrs. Parlin) sold by Macy Aube and #359 Shaw and Danielle Brooks sold by Macy Aube July $100.00 # 895 Rose Curtis sold by Christina Roy and #12 Jennifer Cormier sold by Savannah Cormier August $75.00 #662 Wayne Hachey sold by Raegan Hachey and #36 Alexis Gagne sold by Cameron Douin.

Five different stations carry the commercial-ABC family, Fox, HGTV, CNN and Discovery. St. Michael School held an open house for new families looking to come to our school. There was a great turnout and about 25 families showed up and got to tour the school and speak to the teachers. A parent at the Parent Association meeting commented that “you don’t have to be Catholic to go to a Catholic school- that it is open to all denominations.” She said that she was very pleased with the education her children have been receiving here at St. Michaels and hoped that just because people are not Catholic that it would not stop them from looking into our school.
