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

School
News : There will be an update on the school web site
at the end of May. It should look a little fresher and have
a little pop. Everyone should find it appealing and easier to
search. We are also looking into have our own domain name (more
to come). The new St. Michael School commercial has been playing
on cable TV. 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.
