-Kellan Zietz attended meeting on behalf of the Wrestling Program. They are working towards
purchasing new uniforms and he was wondering if we could help with purchasing the fight shorts. They
are $50.00 each and he is looking to order twenty. The expense for the rest of the uniforms is costly and
he was looking for help for this one part. Motion was made by Leah Bjerklie to approve $1,000.00.
Second by Sarah Glasoe. Request went to a silent vote and was unanimously approved.
-Mrs. Hall attended meeting on behalf of the School Improvement Team. In preparation for their site
visit in the Spring of 2017 they will be conducting the first of a few surveys around conference time and
was looking for volunteers to help with the computer area set up for parents to take the survey at the
school if they are unable to at home. Conferences are October 19th and 20th and volunteers are needed
from 4-7pm. A sign up sheet was set up to help with this.
-Sarah Fagerland brought an idea to help promote literacy to the students. ‘Birthday Book Club’ would
be a program where a parent, grandparent, etc. could donate either a flat fee to go toward a book of
child’s choice or one purchased off a wish list that would stay at library for everyone to enjoy. A
nameplate with the donator and recipient would go on inside cover and recipients and donators would
be acknowledged at the monthly assembly. The only cost for Club would be the stickers for front inside
cover of book and printing of assembly photo. Tonya Pearson made motion to pursue this. Second by
Sarah Glasoe. All in favor none opposed. Motion carried. Sarah Fagerland has already contacted those
in the elementary library to make sure this was okay and she will pursue details this month.
-Sonya Faken brought forth a fundraiser idea of a balloon release. Each balloon purchased would have a
note attached saying something to the effect “if found please contact….”. A prize would be offered for
first three found and also for the first to turn them in. Everyone seemed to think this would be a great
idea to tie in with Homecoming next year.
-Sarah Fagerland has received the updated e-mail lists for staff so she will send out an e-mail with
updated request forms, contact information, and questionnaires as our new website is not up and
running quite yet.
