Committee chairs:

Volunteers are needed for various positions. Heidi will review the list of people who said they want to volunteer. Some discussed were:

 

 

Donation Coordinator- box labels and Pizza Inn

 

Fundraiser Coordinator

 

Reflections (Cultural Arts) Coordinator: This year’s theme: “Beauty is”

 

Safety Poster Coordinator:

This year’s theme is “I am cyber safe when…”

 

Each child may participate, and if they are unable to purchase poster boards, the PTA will have some on hand to distribute. It was suggested Mountain View have an all school meeting with Barto the fire dog to recognize the safety poster winners. Top prize winners are recognized locally with the potential to be recognized state-wide.
