Attended by Tom Dooher, Roberto Carrasquilla, Cindy Philapil, Monique Perez-Jones, Lisa Twaronite, LaChon Richardson, Lynda Tashek
(1) SPORTS WEB SITE
Roberto: Check out SFBsports.org . A parent put it together.
(2) NEW TVs
Tom: These are the TVs. We're looking into buying new DVD players, too.
(3) SPRING CONCERT
Tom: Our all-school concert will be held Thursday, May 22.
(4) EXPENSES/PROGRAMS
Tom: There will be a 5% tuition raise, or about $20/month.
Our kindergarten is FULL, with calls still coming in, and there are 10 students coming in the middle grades, so we probably have a net gain. I am interviewing two Spanish teachers to teach K-5, five days a week, for 40 minutes.
(5) PRE-K
Tom: The Crayon Box wants to rent the Little House, which has already passed the fire inspection and could be up and running by September or October. They are for-profit -- not non-profit -- but they can take up to 45 students, and would give tuition consideration and first admission consideration to SFB kids. They would pay rent to the parish. Alice Guidry said the rent would go into a fund for the school, maybe for building maintenance.
(6) MOVIE NIGHT
Roberto: We printed flyers, and the kids will vote on the movie. We also invited the incoming kindergarten class. Maybe we could buy some bean bag chairs for the kids to sit on, and store them for next time?
(7) FUNDRAISING/PARENTS
LaChon: The Center Plate dates for next year are set. The raffle has brought in $1600 so far, and room parents need to remind families to send in their tickets.
We sent out the letter requesting nominations for next year's parents' board. Back to school night has been sent for Aug 28, at 6:30.
The teacher appreciation lunch will be next Friday. There will be no classes that day, because of the WASC work day. It will be catered by Alice Guidry.
