Parents Comments or Questions
- A question was asked about a previously discussed form for fuel sponsorship (marching band rental truck). Discussion included needing to figure out a format and that this would be addressed.
- Questions were asked regarding how to find out how much money is earned for the student’s accounts with the different fundraisers. Estimates based on past years performances are approximately $15.00/hr for concessions and $6.00/hr for the gift wrap. It was emphasized that the BB concessions are based on sales and that attendance will affect the dollars/hr earned. Butter Braid sales were encouraged as the amount earned is per item sold. Catalog sales were also mentioned as a possible way to earn funds. Mr. Mitchell shared that each school organization is limited by the school board to 1 catalog/product sale per year. Shawna Skaggs, Treasurer may be contacted for the individual student’s account amount.
