Announcements Thank you to all the parents and students for volunteering their time during Luau BBQ! It was a lot of fun and was very successful. The student council received a lot of positive feedback! A correction from last month’s newsletter! I accidently thanked the wrong parent for helping with the Open House. It was Tammy Cochran that deserves a huge thank you for helping. Sorry Tammy and Thank You! Incentives for students- PAP will be purchasing suckers and temporary tattoos from the Oriental Trading Company as incentives for the students. If there are any parents that have incentives to donate, please feel free to drop them to Ms. Ritz at the school.
Options were discussed in the meeting about additional ways to get announcements out to more of our Lied families. Lied is already using the website and ParentLink, as well as, the PAP blog www.lied-pap.blogspot.com. Some ideas that were discussed were: 1. Can we do a facebook page? Ms. Ritz is looking into it. 2. It may be easier to use Twitter. Ms. Ritz is looking into both of these possibilities. The best format would be a simple posting format without the requirement of constant monitoring. We have no idea what this means for other legal issues. Ms. Bass -Davis emailed Legal and we are waiting for a response from them. If we have PAP do it, there may be no conflict. Do any parents have thoughts regarding this matter?
We earned $246 from the Crystal Palace Night! We are still waiting to hear about the other Gator Bite Nights at this time.
Amanda Siqueira from Nationwide Outdoor is assisting us with the research of getting signs for our school – She is finding out if we need to get a permit to create a permanent sign on the Bradley side of the building. This is a very exciting possibility! Thank you, Amanda!
We are also looking into possibly having a sandwich board-type sign for general information in the quad or office.
Any parents who signed up to volunteer for certain types of events will be receiving phone calls within the next week regarding any events or issues that Lied MS needs support around. PAP and Lied staff asks that you please be willing to help if you are possibly able to! One Event, One Hour!
The Halloween Carnival is 10/31 – Anyone with a black light is asked to donate it for use in the haunted house. Contact Tricia Perna at tricia@triciaperna.com. We desperately need help from parents with the booths and/or the haunted house to support the students in making this event a success! Contact Allyson Butto by email atAFB244@interact.ccsd.net
Lied has received 25 UNLV tickets for the Boise vs UNLV game in November! Rick Suiter is looking into the possibility of purchasing 25 more. He will also be asking that we might get an announcement at the game that Lied MS is present! We have at least 19 people who have already contacted me about purchasing the tickets to attend the game. If you are also interested, please contact us ASAP. They are first come, first serve.
The November SST lesson will be “Delayed Gratification” – PAP has agreed to purchase the marshmallows for this lesson.
We are looking to have three spaghetti dinner type fundraisers on the evenings that we have out concerts in December. The funds will go towards a school wide field to an arts museum in California. Does anyone have any contacts at the Northwest Career & Technical Magnet School to see if they can serve/support these dinner fundraisers? If so, please let us know.
PAP will be creating a Standard Dress Survey to gather the response of the parents and see if parents want to pursue this policy.
Lied received an email from Julie Wilson; she is going to order herself a PAP shirt. The item numbers that staff is wearing is k500 and l500. They run $14.00 each with an additional $2.00 for each x after XL. You can go to www.sanmar.com to view all the styles. Julie is willing to pick up any that are ordered and bring them to the next meeting on November 4. |
