FUNDRAISING:

Discussed possible “supermarket sweep” game. Lisa Meehan, was to approach the local Shop-n-save.

Students from the High School Honor Society were present at the beginning of the meeting to make sure that the PTO did not have already planned to do a “Penny Wars” fundraising event.  This was discussed with them and we decided that we would do one for the elementary school at the same time as the high school, as a little competition for the elementary school students. Further discussions needed, a chair for this event, and volunteers, was tabled for upcoming meetings.  Date for this event would be the week of April 23rd.

Also there was mention of a bowling fundraiser.  In addition, we also have the Guptills fundraiser.

Should anyone have an idea they would like to share, please feel free to attend our next meeting or email the PTO at hoosicvalleypto@gmail.com
