The Accelerated Reader program has been started in the library.
Books are tagged in the library with the appropriate reading
level for the students. Once a student reads the book, they take
a test on the computer. Mr. Grossman would like H&S to support
an incentive program. Nancy would like to know more information
on the program. Mr. Grossman said he will have the librarian
come talk with H&S. The librarian has contacted Whetstone
library to check with them what books are popular. The goal is
to expand our adolescent books. Phil suggested we could give
a certain amount of money a month. Sue made the motion to support
the incentive reader program with H&S funds. The motion was
passed to give $250.
The kick off for the program will be in November.
Parish Report
presented by Carolyn Smith
Carolyn reported on the the lack of ventilation in the gym. Roger
Fields who is an engineer was contacted and he looked at our
present ventilation system. Option 3,4,5 were chosen. Michele
stated 3,4, and 5 will have an efficiency of 67%. The cost
would be $15,000 and the Athletic Association would like to
share the cost of the project. Contractors have been contacted
and they may have a different perspective. We don't really
know the prices. Bids are to be given by Hazlett, Bruner and
Julian Speer.
H&S will have a meeting with the Athletic Asssociation
once the bids are presented to the school. Fundraising was
discussed, but it is hard to find time and the manpower needed.
Sue stated we have fundraising already in place and we should
really promote it to raise funds for the gym. Nancy will contact
Bob for a meeting.
OLD Business
Nancy presented:
Bids are to be given on the Art room kiln wiring. Once the bids
are received an internet vote will be done.
Kathy will buy jumpropes for the playground equipment.
Alice Lieberman contacted the St. Louis school in Baton Rouge
and 75 uniforms were sent. She received a thank you and sent
them a note to see what they need but she hasn't heard back from
them yet.
Maureen Carroll talked with Nancy about the Student/Parent dance.
She would like to get a date picked and would also like money
for a DJ and refreshments. Mr. Grossman suggested she talk with
the dance club so Cheryl will call her.
New Business
A Christmas Boutique chairman is needed. The Jeffers have done
a lot of the work for this year. Parents are needed to work
with the Jeffers.
Crissy will send a note in the newsletter. She will call Gary.
Michele Sapp from the IC Women's Club contacted H&S and stated
the Women's Club is asking for $100 a year from H&S to buy
paper products for the kitchen. Nancy stated she bought cups
and coffee for the donut social and this would save us from having
to go buy the products. Motion was given and passed to give $100
a year to the Women's Club.
