CEPO – April 17th, 2016 @ CTE Conference Room

Attendees: Michelle Koch, Stacie Ferrence, Janelle Anderson, Kathy Kaiser, Jennifer Kippels, Heather Mock, Laura Alonzi, Melanie (guest), Danielle Steinhoff, Gretchen Ulvin, Sara Neibergall, Mark Pumper, Guest: Melanie works for Girl Scouts and supports the NE suburbs; 190 girls in 24 troops and about 100 volunteers; only 20 girls at CTE involved currently; would like to expand and encourage the girls to get involved over the summer if they are interested; open house at the Centennial Library this Saturday (4/22) from 10:00-12:00; recommended having a table at the Ice Cream Social this fall (need to notify the office in August). Business Review:

• Site Council Report – Heather and Stacey o Student Leadership Council is doing Earth Day and a Teacher/Staff Appreciation the

first week of May. ▪ Taking applications for incoming 4-5th graders

o The district grounds crew is cleaning up the front of the building in May (removing weed gardens and trimming the trees). No need for volunteers to do that.

o Want more playground equipment – tennis balls, etc. o PBIS meeting is tomorrow and the afternoon of 4/24 is the big kickoff meeting for the

staff o Kids are able to ride their bikes to school now – get your bike license!

• Principal’s Report – Kathy Kaiser o Report on page 4-5 o District calendar review – discussed possible dates for the events we want to do next

year o Need to decide when our CEPO meetings will be next year so we can get the space

reserved ▪ Where do we want to meet next year? The STEM room was suggested – better

lighting and easier to move the tables

• Box Tops Report – Gretchen o Details on page 8 o Next reward is for the classroom collected the most throughout the year; prize not

determined yet

• Treasurer’s Report – Mark o Report on page 6-7 o Extra funds for field trip busing will come out of the CTE budget ($72) o Scholastic News – last month we discussed if it was possible to pare this down and do

more sharing. The teachers were polled and agreed – the savings would be about $1100 next year.

o PBIS t-shirts – Looking for CEPO to fund the gap from the fundraiser (tumblers/cookies) with the assemblies underspend ($1700; voted and we agreed) and Scholastic News saved funds.

o Possible budget additions: ▪ Brain Pop Jr. for grades K-3 - $175 per grade level license ▪ eBooks for Cybrary to continue expanding the offerings next year

Fundraisers and Events Review:

• Feed My Starving Children – April 8th

o 28 people attended o Michelle’s video on Facebook was very good.

• 5th Grade Party – May 19th – After school 4-6 pm.

• Art Adventures o Can we book next year’s resident artist yet? Yes, they are hard to get! o Base cost is $2000 for a week + supplies o Should this come out of our assemblies budget? Agreed yes

• Scholastic book fair o Stacey is looking for other parents to get involved and take it over. There is one parent

who can do it if she is not working. o There is some talk about switching to a different vendor – Kathy recommended doing

Scholastic next year and planning to switch after that if we decide to. o We have a little less than $4000 to spend with Scholastic currently. $800 needs to be

spent by August; suggesting we use it to enhance grade 3-5 classroom book options o $1977 was kept as cash to go into the library fund o Most schools actually do half price book fair in spring. Will the book fair during the

carnival be a half price book fair? ▪ A few years ago, we had a BOGO sale during the carnival – but we have to hold

two book fairs in order to get this option. ▪ Need to run the book fair for 5 days to get all the Cybrary classes in (the teachers

like that) o In the past ALL money has gone towards books. Is it still all going toward books? Not

sure

• Events discussion: o Decided to have Bingo for Books in January – targeting the 12th

▪ Kathy has reserved the gym and cafeteria for us o Kindergarten Play Date – free, at a park, thinking 6-7:30 the week of August 21-25;

maybe snacks and 8 oz. water bottles o Father/Daughter//Mother/Son dance – Community Ed does this too o Summer Reading Program – CTE is collaborating with the Centennial Public Library /

Anoka County Library for our students to participate in their summer reading program. The CTE school library is not planned to be open this summer.

Fundraiser Planning: This year we did: 1. Square One Art - yes 2. Grand raffle - yes 3. Twins tickets (we don’t make a lot) - no 4. Cookie dough/ tumblers – see how it goes 5. Stroll - yes 6. Tickets into Wizard of Oz - next year into talent show - yes 7. Spirit wear (the school wants to run it next year) – n/a 8. Jump Rope for Heart – this is not a CEPO thing; the kickback is about $600 for gym equipment New Business:

• Voted for Board positions: o Vice President – Danielle Steinhoff o Secretary – Gretchen Ulvin
