Yearbook – Chris Heiland
- Website for the yearbook is set up for this year and we are waiting on the welcome packet
- 3rd grade students will submit designs for the cover of the yearbook – the entire school will vote
on the designs – the deadline to have the design in is November 15th but we can submit later if
we give the company advance notice
- This year we will charge $19 for the yearbooks and an additional $2 for a personalized message
since the price of the yearbook has gone up
- This year the company is offering a free student personalization of the yearbook for each
student
Fundraising – Angie Lesher

- Wolfgang candy fundraisers go out on September 14th and are due back by October 5th. Pickup
will be on November 4th during parent-teacher conferences
- Angie is working on setting up an American Girl Doll Bingo fundraiser – she is having trouble
getting sponsers for the dolls – we are looking at having 20 games and every 4-5 games will have
a doll as a prize – we have obtained 2 dolls and some outfits already – looking at possibly having
families donate a doll or outfit
- Another fundraising idea is to have a Mommy and Me paint night – charge $10-15/person and
have it at Mount Wolf and have the artist bring supplies – more information will be forthcoming
on this
Book Fair – Stacey Wise

We will hold our next meeting on September 4th at 6:15 in the library
