New Business:
- Caramel Apples: Katie’s Candies will make caramel apples for our Halloween fundraiser.
Prices have been increased a little bit to account for base cost. Order forms will go out soon and they are due back by Oct. 20. Pick up will be Oct. 29 after school or at Trunk-r-Treat.
- SUCCESS Golf Tournament: Oct. 2 at Newaukum Golf Course. Sign-ups needed for teams of 4. Contact Cody Duncan for volunteer information.
- Trunk-r-Treat: Friday, Oct. 29 at 6:30pm in the school parking lot. Candy donations needed. Send a bag of candy per student to the school. Looking for volunteers to decorate their trunks. There will not be food available, but Caramel Apples will be available for pre-order pick-up.
- I-5 Car Raffle: Lynday is still working on the complicated gambling license process. We plan on starting to sell raffle tickets (prize is a vehicle) in the spring. Families will be required to sell at least 4 tickets, each ticket is $10 and we keep 100% of the profit. Winning ticket will be drawn at the Swamp Cup football game in the fall.
- Missoula Children’s Theater: Feb. 28 - Mar. 5, during conference week. Kindergarten-8th grade students can audition. Students are not guaranteed a part in the play if they try out. Parents’ Club paid a deposit in 2020 of $500 to be used for this year's show. Total cost is about $2,500, but we make about $1,000 back in donations during the show. Still looking for a venue since Centralia College Corbet Theater is not available this year.
- SCRIP: This helps fund our technology resources (AR platform & Freckle program). Each family will be required to spend $500 in Scrip gift cards this year. Many frequent cards are available immediately in the school office (Safeway, Walmart, Amazon, Starbucks, Fiddlers, etc). It does not cost anything extra to purchase Scrip gift cards, but the school receives a percentage back (ex: 4% of $100 gift card to Safeway = $4.00 towards school). Fill out the form in the family packet, call the school or visit https://www.shopwithscrip.com/. Teachers are looking for a way to make a “Pop-up” shop for gift cards in the parking lot during pick-up. - Volunteer Hours: Carissa will send out an information email with details soon. Families can fill out volunteer forms and send them back to school in the family packet. Also use this form to keep track of Scrip amount spent. Upcoming opportunities for volunteers include the SUCCESS phone-a-thon.
- Auction: Feb. 26. Jaclyn Piles has agreed to help chair the auction with Shannon Becker. Planning for the event to be in person, but the back-up plan is to go virtual if needed. Info will be sent out later for donation and volunteer opportunities.
- Pie Sale: 8th graders will be selling pies starting the last week of October. Money raised will go toward class gift to the school and class trip.
- Miscellaneous: Conferences will have one night available with later meeting times. Join the Parent Square App for up-to-date information and communications from the school.
