- Vice President: Paul Campbell
Fine Arts dance was a success!
- Jazz Coordinator: Becca Jackson
Jazz Classic: All set with staffing; Tracey ordered pizza. Concessions in cafeteria; enough water donated.
Next year make the ticket price higher – it’s $6 now, which is an odd price.
Tracey will give Becca 2 cash boxes.
Discussed selling flowers at door, since it’s Valentine’s Day.
Kim will get flowers.
Coming up: MAJE on March 18
- Ways & Means: Kim Beaudet
Merch sales: Kim ordered more fleece, vests, t-shirts. Not placing big order, will get new items, e.g., summer beach towels, gloves. Need pencils for spring concerts, maybe new flannel pants, tank tops, shorts maybe?
Fundraisers: Two car washes coming up (5/12 & 6/9)
Other idea – McDonalds on Rt 1 (new restaurant) any dollars spent during specified hours (can be breakfast, noon, or night) we get a portion.
Discussed possibility of having McDonalds fundraiser on same day as one of the car washes.
- Marching Band: Diane Wilson
Music Camp 2018: almost time for the forms to be made.
What is date of marching band kick-off meeting? Cathy will ask Steve – maybe schedule week before April vacation.
- Director of Fine Arts: Catherine Connor-Moen
Can we think of possible fundraiser for music camp financial aid?
Nixed idea of kids collecting money in cans in front of businesses.
Approach businesses asking if they would sponsor a student. Request alumni donations, possibly request current parents to donate a little more.
Set it up as a PMA scholarship fund.
