Teach Booster Meeting
March 2, 2012
Attendees: Sunshine Cowgill, Taffy Gonzalez, Altovese Vigil, Kurt Rightmyer, Lori Shields, Nara Clark, Riana Baxter, Chantal Blanchard, Dan Block, Denise Jenkins, Idona , Grace Kim, and Jocelyn Leonard.
8:31 a.m. Meeting called to order. Altee moved to approve the February Booster Minutes. Taffy seconded the motion. All were in favor.
Financial Report: The $20,000 that was previously uncategorized was due to all the new student opening balances. That money has now been categorized. Genevieve is negative due to how we disperse that money to individual kid’s accounts. The Profit and Loss statement is now on track. We still have bills to pay for SLUCSD. We have $5 in our business checking account, and $30,253.29 in another checking account. Our CD is worth $10,010.19. These accounts are all held at Coast Hills. In the Santa Barbara Bank and Trust accounts, we have two other CD’s and the Student council funds. The student council funds are $9,919.28. The other two CD’s are worth $33,054.35, and $1394.44.
In regards to our study trips, we have found out that when there is a substitute covering for a teacher, when there is a combo class, we need to pay for the substitute to stay back with the kids who are not going on the trip.
Lori asked to see last year’s Profit and Loss statement, so that she can see how we are doing this year. Sunshine will e-mail it to her. We will be having a budget meeting in May.
Principal’s Report: It was an eventful week in Yosemite. Tuesday at 5 p.m., the weather reports predicted high winds, up to 70 mph. Yosemite decided to evacuate Curry Village and Boys Town. All were moved to El Portal. Thursday morning the students were able to go back to Yosemite village. They didn’t get to go cross country skiing, but they did get 2 feet of snow while they were there!
Next year, Mr. Block anticipates the same number of students as this year. There will be 1 ½ 4th grade classes next year. Mr. Block pointed out that there are lots of rumors regarding Teach, such as that they are closing, moving, etc., but these are just rumors.
Class Reports: Lori let us know that Mr. Crabb is working on Applebee’s with Ms. Rizzo. It will be March 24th. Ms. Robson wanted us to know that the Santa Barbara field trip that the 4th grade took was awesome! Some Cal Poly students came in for an engineering project recently, and the kids loved it!
The 5th graders are in Yosemite.
The 6th grade is getting ready to go to the Rosicrucian Museum and Hearst Castle soon.
Old Business: March-a-thon update. The design is set for the T-shirts. We’ve raised $3100 on sponsorships this year. There is a rally coming up for the kids to get them on board with the new March-a-thon format. There will still be prizes and a competition. The push is more on fundraising and fun, and not competition this year.
Auction update: We just got a donation from Grace Kim for $1600 from her business. We have also gotten 4 Disneyland Park Hopper Tickets for the auction. Taffy needs people to get things for the auction, and to help her. Also, talk up the event so people will come. If you procure $200 in donations, your kids can go to the Central Coast Gymnastics evening for free. The Vogel Family donated Central Coast Gymnastics for the night of our auction. Any money paid to CCG that night gets donated to us. Needs for the auction: a podium. There was a question regarding pouring of wine at the auction. If we get the wine donated, and have someone pay the $5 corkage fee per bottle, we could give each person a ticket to get one glass of wine with their dinner. Even if you do not come to the event, you can bid at the auction.
Math Day: March 22, Mrs. Rosenfield needs volunteers to help at different stations. Contact Mrs. Rosenfield. Mrs. Rosenfield is looking for a hotel owner with in our school, to try to get a deal on a room for the facilitator of Math Day.
Taffy suggested having a table at March-a-thon, and Applebee’s to sell tickets for the auction.
Lori had a question about the computers. Ms. Kelly will meet with the other teachers to see what problems we have with the computers. There is a new IT person at the district assigned to us. It may take a while to get him on board.
Meeting adjourned at 9:29 a.m.

Teach Boosters Club Meeting Minutes - Feb. 2012
Teach Booster Club Meeting Minutes
February 3, 2012
Attendees: Sunshine Cowgill, Taffy Gonzalez, Morgan Robertson, Kate Poeschl, Kurt Rightmyer, Summer Kabaker, Chantal Blanchard, Nara Clark, Doris Kim, Riana Baxter, Nell Bennett, Denise Jenkins, and Jocelyn Leonard.
Meeting called to order at 8:36 a.m.
There was a correction to the minutes from January. The correction was for the Auction/dinner ticket prices. The correct price for the tickets should read $50 per ticket, not $45. Taffy moved to approve the corrected minutes. Altee seconded the motion. All agreed.
Financial Report: Director’s/Officer’s insurance is already included in our current policy. We could get embezzlement insurance, but we do not believe it is worth it due to the amount of money in our accounts.
The teachers are working with Altee to get bills for kids paid. Altee has only had requests for reimbursements for electives, from one person. That was Sunshine. Other reimbursements may still be coming in since Electives finish up this next week.
Altee has also had three checks come in for sponsorships for the March-a-thon.
Doris asked about the balancing of our accounts. Are our accounts balanced? Altee says that they are. She is still working on moving everything to QuickBooks. There were some questions about the Profit/Loss statement. A few changes are needed. Doris suggested separating Great Lakes Script from E-script. She suggested having a category for script, and then separate the two different ones underneath that category. Doris also requested a copy of the budget off of QuickBooks, to be printed off each month. She feels that this will make it easier for people at the meetings, to understand the budget. Kate offered to help Altee with QuickBooks.
March-a-thon: There is a new sponsorship idea for March-a-thon. We could sell larger spots for $150 each and the smaller spots for $100. There will be no official counting of laps this year at the March-a-thon. Kids can count their own laps. There will be a competition for those who want to compete at the end. The sponsorship letter will go out again to the parents next week.
Old Business: The current Student Council will be in charge of making the class of 2010’s gift of the sundial.
Principal’s Report: The kids are enjoying the Electives. The 5th graders are getting excited about their trip to Yosemite. The representatives from Cal Poly have been very helpful in getting the kids ready for the Science Fair. The Science Fair will be held Feb. 16, 2012.
Class Representatives: Nara said that there were some questions about the yearbook. Chantal is working on the yearbook. The program has been installed on the computers. Mrs. Jones will send a hard drive to all of the teachers so that they can download their class pictures.
The 6th grade play is coming up. There are 13 extra students this year. The cost may go up for the director’s fee due to the extra students. Eric Austin will be contacted about directing. Kate will check with Mrs. Jones regarding possibly making some money by selling the DVD’s of the play. The Booster Club has $2000 to spend on the play. We will have to make it work with that amount. The 6th grade says, “Thank you for the Battle books!”
The 4th grade representative, Morgan, told us that the 4th graders will be going to Santa Barbara on the train soon. They are looking forward to that.
It was brought up that some of the school computers have memory problems. Sunshine asked the class representatives to check with their teachers to see what the problem is and what is needed to fix it. Currently the kids are bringing in their own hard drives. Nell Bennett volunteered that her husband may be able to take a look at the computers to see what is going on with them. He works in the computer industry.
Auction: The Auction is April 21. The place and meal are now set. It will be held at Café Roma. We will be ready to sell tickets soon. Sunshine is looking at setting the blog up to sell tickets also. Right now Taffy needs items donated. People could spend a few minutes a day going on websites and asking for donations. If the places are local, you could go in person. If you are interested is helping contact Taffy. She has a letter with our tax ID number on it that you could use. Kurt volunteered to help. Denise had an idea where people can buy gift cards for donating to the auction. This would help us in two ways.
Meeting adjourned at 9:42 a.m.
