October 11, 2021
Attendees (Online): Patty P, Amanda Schauer, Nick Daley, Heather Mosolf
Meeting called to order at 6:32pm.
Carissa Hansen from the West Fargo Public Library presented about the programs at the library (including the Little Red Reading Bus) and how our kids can participate.
Jill Christopher presented the financials. Overall, little change outside of the fall fundraiser income that is partially received (online funds will be coming still as a direct deposit) and expenses related to the fall fundraiser. Budget will be done prior to the next meeting for approval under the new Leadership Team. In the meantime, the Executive Team did allocate funds for the fall conference meals as that is coming prior to the next board meeting.
Mr. Schneck was very excited about the results of the fall fundraiser. All kids will get to help in putting ice cream toppings on him and Ms. Anderson as a congrats for beating the goal. Mr. Schneck asked for feedback on how things are going so far, particularly on the communication front. Please reach out with any thoughts. Discussion on parking and proper etiquette. Question raised on how the fundraiser funds will be used. The new leadership will be getting that figured out for next month’s meeting as they work through options for fieldtrips, etc. with COVID.
Erin gave the President’s report. Teachers are working on getting needs for milk money so that can be included in the budget. Most committee positions are filling, but there are still options for jumping in to help in different committees. Movie license is currently up and there are no volunteers so need to decide if want to proceed. Lizett will keep it on her radar for next spring and possibly consider a drive-in movie.
Committee Reports:
Motion made by Robin to approve the slate of new officers. Holly seconded. Motion passed.
Next PTO meeting will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 9 at 6:30pm (instead of the first Tuesday due to a conflict). Next Papa Murphys date is Oct. 28. Volunteers will be needed for Turkey Bingo and Book Fair – be watching your email for sign-up.
Party drawing held. Winning classes were Wester, Tiedeman, and Fulsebakke.
Meeting adjourned at 7:38pm.

Committee Reports:
- Back to School night - Patty and Heather are willing to help with Back-to-School night for Fall 2022.
- Spiritwear – looking at Christmas delivery on items so could possibly be Christmas gifts. Will have some shirt, sweatshirt, and maybe sticker options. Other options could be sweatpants. Also discussed refreshing our AllStars logo. Discussed having a nicer quality shirts at a little higher price. This is not a fundraiser but a breakeven.
- Fro-Yo – Discussed the pros and cons of this. Can be a lot of work for the teachers (and the PTO treasurer/office staff). Also, we can not get supplies through food service as before. Discussed promoting events to support the 5th graders.
- Fun Run – went very well raising just over $32,000 with over 400 kids raising funds. Will be handing out 275 DQ gift cards for the fundraisers. Loved having others out to cheer on the kids – helped to motivate the runners. Slight delay in the gift cards so will keep everyone posted. Ice Cream Sundae celebration will be held on Friday.
- Fall Book Fair – is all set up and will be held during conferences. Still need a few volunteers for both nights. Online bookfair is up and running.
- Turkey Bingo – Brandi is having some trouble securing donations. Currently she has a $50 gift card from each Hornbachers and Cashwise. Still need to lock down a date. Can’t start until later since YMCA is there. Tentative date is Monday, November 15 with first game at 6:30pm. Need to check with Neely as to the availability of the school. Brandi is working to get turkeys too. She will buy if needed – need 10. $5 per person, $20 family max.
- Teacher Conference meals - Ashley Nowacki
