Corresponding Sec Report- Sara thanks all the volunteers for the fair and flower sale. It was the most profitable flower sale in all her years of running it. Sara you will be missed next year!

Officer voting for next year. Filling the position of Corresponding Sec is Stephanie Campise. 9 Votes for Yes.

Recording secretary being filled by Megan Foti. All 9 votes for yes. This is a 2 year term.

Treasurer’s Report - April May and June a lot of money coming and going. Flower sale and Fair were successful.

Principal’s– NJSLA Testing is complete and went well. Field Day is coming up Friday. 3rd, 4th and 5th walking over to high school around 9:15/30. Pretzels will be provided at the field by the PTA. Students should bring a water bottle. Snacks are not necessary.

Teacher’s Report – Thanks for the great teacher appreciation week. Much appreciated. Snacks and ice cream started to be sold at lunch. Teachers noticed that kids were not eating regular lunch so they are limiting snack buying to the last 15 minutes of lunch.

Many field trips are coming up. We have the 5th grade egg drop on 6/14 at 11:30. Water ice will be served by the PTA/5th grade parents right before half day dismissal.

President’s Report -

Fair was a great success as was teacher appreciation.

Garden budget has some money. Stacie is in the process of working with Verde Landscaping (Mr. V) to get a quote on the garden outside of K Entrance. Would anyone be opposed to put some of the flower sale profits towards this project? We will vote on this in Sept  when we have a cost estimate.

Miss Roberts asked about what can be done to improve the Marquee out front. It has seen better days. Quotes for a new marquee are costly. Bernadette is a contact for this. Former Stoy family. Fundraise perhaps or go to the BOE?

New Officer installation will happen in Sept for Megan and Stephanie.

Events for next year were shared via zoom. Any parent on zoom tonight will have first dibs on what events they would like to chair/help with. After that list will be shared with parents at first PTA meeting of the year in Sept. After that,  back to school night. Any events not taken will be taken off the calendar. Would like to not have the same families doing everything and want to get new volunteers to help with events. It is too much to put all responsibility on the people attending PTA meetings.

Events can be broken down into smaller pieces if parents feel overwhelmed at taking something on. There is no judgement and any help is appreciated! Miss Roberts offered to help with coin collection for Support staff at the holidays and helping at back to school night to communicate what the PTA does for the school.

Committee Reports

Zone updates: Erin Bernardo – 5th grade Splash party planning is underway. Leslie is the point person and permission slips were handed out.
