Meeting Minutes – November 2020 | Field Elementary PTO

Details

Treasurer’s Report – Gloria
- Some small charges since last month (admin, spirit items)
- New spirit items on order means some pending charges
- There is still money earmarked for the ancillary programs

Art Ancillary Update – Naomi
- Our arts partners have secured grants which benefit our school/programs:
  - Visual arts and hip-hop dance classes will be available via asynchronous instruction twice per week; classes are split PreK-2 and 3-5 so as to be age-appropriate. Each ancillary class is 20 minutes long and will be pre-recorded so everyone can access it.
  - The lessons have been sent to the administration to incorporate into the schedule.
  - Open Dance Project (hip-hop dance classes) would like to offer free professional development workshops for the teachers which would also give them access to videos they could use for indoor recess, brain breaks, etc.

After School Update – Hai
- Possibility of Soccer Shots returning mid-January – purely as an outdoor athletic program opportunity, not aftercare. Parents would be responsible for bringing their child to the class, remaining there for the duration, and then taking them home. Details are still being worked out, but more information will be released as it becomes available.

Fundraising Update – Naomi
- New spirit items: t-shirt design, mask, mask lanyard will be available soon
- Porch Photo Sessions: $50/family photo session with a local photographer. Heights area families can have their photos taken in front of their homes; alternatively, families may have their photos done at Marmion Park (18th and Heights)/a similar public space (details TBD). More information/scheduling to come! Check the PTO website for updates.
