PTA announcements and Science Night Information

Greetings All -

As a reminder tonight we have Science Night. Before the science activities begin the PTA would like to take 10 minutes of your time to update you on budgetary and financial issues. Here is an overview of the evening:

• 5:30 - 5:50 Pizza will be served. 
• 5:50 - 6:00 PTA 
• 6:00 - 7:00 Science Family Fun

The PTA will sell leftover t-shirts and sweatshirts. 

Overview of PTA Announcement: 

First we will introduce our fantastic new treasurer, Ben Martinez. Ben will review the treasurers report. We have one order of business. At the last meeting we reviewed and passed the 2018-2019 PTA budget. We received many suggestions on how to modify the format. We have streamlined the budget format and made a few amendments: 

• We will not have concessions at Fiesta. Instead we will offer free pallets. Fiesta will be a community event, not a fundraiser. 
• Culture fest will not be funded by PTA. The Culture Fest committee will do its own fundraising.

Please review this amended budget and treasurers report. PTA members will vote on this ammended budget at the meeting. 

Also, I wanted to send a HUGE thank you to the organizers of carnival, Christ Balthrop and Ms. U. The even would not have been possible without all of your hard work! A special thanks to all of the teachers and administrators who came in on a Saturday to support the Lamar community.  We were grateful for all of the volunteers who supported the event from Grace Northridge church.   It was a wonderful event!
