Kim Cabanas |

Cherrydale Farms has raised a total slightly over $30,000. Petroglyph will receive 40.0% of the total, or $12,000 of the current total. We are expecting more orders to come in the next two weeks, raising the totals. PTA budgeted $10,725 for this event. Discussions were held regarding the Parent’s Night Out events. PTA Executive Committee recommended that the event partner the PTA with grade level teachers each month. PTA would coordinate the event and the grade level teachers would coordinate staffing and operations. Proceeds would be split 75.0% to grade level and 25.0% to PTA. All in attendance agreed. 5th grade would be held 11/21. |
