PTC Minutes
April 9, 2008

Members in attendance included: Colleen Hendon, Vicky Lampe, Sheila Weiss,
Janene Michalk, Rebecca
Jeffries, Debbie Novick, Vickie Rayamond, Marie Zanelli, Danielle Hansen,
Mindy Corr and Kim Owen.
Open Forum: Colleen Hendon requested a picture of this year's choir
students. She also needed a
picture of students who are in the Drama/Music Club. Carolyn Larson stated
that the PTC would be
supplying gum, water and a few extra snacks for Star Testing.
Janene Michalk distributed copies of the PTC budget and explained where the
money has been spent
thus far this year. She estimates a year end balance of $8,398.58 and
stated that although
fundraising revenue was down slightly this year she believed the economy in
general was responsible.
Janene Michalk also is requesting that all requests for teacher
reimbursements be passed on to her
before May 15, 2008. Debbie Novick said she would email all of the teachers
concerning that deadline.
The principal mentioned that the Sierra Gardens 50th Birthday Celebration
was an amazing success and
many former students and faculty attended the event. She also mentioned
that Star Testing snacks
would be needed but only as a supplement to what room moms would be
supplying. Science Fair -
Explor-It Night was coming up.
Marie Zanelli gave a report from the teachers. Mr. Welty is asking in
advance that PTC plan for his
request for additional funding for 4th grade field trips next year. PTC
responded that the budget
will be tight and we will have to wait and see how the money looks in the
Fall.
Colleen Hendon requested a vote for PTC to sell summer grade level activity
books. The books will
be sold for a couple of dollars above cost and the profit will be used for
the library.
Rebecca Jeffries requested a vote to purchase Communicators and Planners for
the students at Sierra
Gardens School. A vote was taken and approved for Site Council to allot not
more than $2,000 for
the purchase of Communicators/Planners for next year.
Sheila Weiss discussed Registration Roundup for the 2008/09 school year. It
was decided to be held
in the foyer of the school rather than the MP Room. This would give the
office staff the ability to
continue working in the office during that time. It was decided that the
best date for Registration
Roundup would be the Monday before the start of school - August 25. Sheila
would like to have all
flyers/infor for first day packets assembled before the end of this school
year.
Kim Owen volunteered to take over the membership drive 08/09 school year.
Vicky Lampe stated that she would no longer be in charge of the Skate Nights
and mentioned that
Debbie Lewis had been interested in taking over the scheduling and working
with Sierra Gardens
Student Council on coordinating the details. Colleen Hendon also
volunteered to help with Skate
Night organization.
Dani Hansen presented to PTC a proposal for buying some sound equipment for
the music/drama
presentation. Three teachers were willing to pool their allotted PTC
expense monies together and
were asking PTC for additional monies to purchase microphones. Vicky Lampe
volunteered to give up
her $170 in Choir Account to be used toward this purchase. Colleen Hendon
motioned to approve and
all present voted to approve. The members in attendance were impressed with
the ingenuity of the
Drama Teachers and their willingness to find a way to purchase the extra
needed equipment. Kim Owen
stated she would contact the vendor involved to try and get a reduced price.
Carolyn Larson gave a review of the upcoming Carnival plans. Ms. Manzo is
asking for a $200
donation from PTC to run the Spanish Food Booth. The request was approved.
The subject of
insurance for the PTC was brought up again and a vote was taken. PTC will
purchase insurance. The
Carnival budget was set at $2,000 this year.
Vicky Lampe requested that the Choir she runs in the mornings be open to all
Sierra Garden students
next year, not just the primary grades. Everyone agreed that would be a
great idea.
Meeting was adjournded at 7:05 p.m.

Karen Andrus spoke about the upcoming Explorit Science Day on April 15,
2008. Sierra Gardens was
lucky enough to be awarded a grant for this Science Day for a second year in
a row. The theme for
Explorit Science Day will be "Health". Karen Andrus stated the need for 15
volunteers and PTC
agreed to get the word out. Karen Andrus also requested raffle items/funds
from the PTC; the need
is for five unusual gifts at a price of $10 or less.
Karen Andrus also spoke of the need for Science Fair judges on May 5.
Stipulation is that it cannot
be parents of students. Judges can be foster grandparents, anyone in the
surrounding neighborhood.
Karen Andrus mentioned that snacks are provided for the judges and that it
is actually fun to do.
Jim Williams updated PTC on the happenings in the neighborhood. He
mentioned that the cameras are
up and running for surveillance by the creek. Jim mentioned that the City
of Roseville has offered
a grant of $150 to Neighborhood Associations to be used for "Easter" in the
neighborhoods. Debbie
Novick will give Jim Williams email to the First Presbyterian Church in
hopes that they may utilize
the monies for their annual Easter Egg Hunt. Lastly, Jim mentioned that
there would be an upcoming
meeting by the City concerning the use of property located at Cirby and
Rocky Ridge Drive. The
city's intent is to build low income, high density housing at this location.
Treasurers Report was reviewed, Jim Williams moved to approve the report and
Marie Zanelli seconded
the motion.
Vickie Raymond spoke about the musical play that will be presented in May,
she also mentioned that
Math Night has become Math Day and will take place on February 29, 2008.
Mrs. Raymond also
mentioned that the students would be having Spirit Day representing each of
the decades working
backwards until they reached the fifty's. Vickie also make a formal request
for PTC to help
furnish snacks and water to our students during Star Testing Week. This
request was put on the
agenda to be voted on at the next PTC Meeting.
Danielle Hansen requested that PTC pay for Kindergarten and first grade to
once again have a visit
from Music Mike. Colleen Hendon motioned to approve and Carolyn Larson
seconded. Discussion
determined that the monies for Music Mike had been included already in the
Kindergarten allotted
enrichment funds.
PTC wants to sponsor a Rivercats game family night. Colleen Hendon will
pick a date that doesn't
interfere with already scheduled events and PTC agreed to put a $100 deposit
on a block of seats.
Deposit will be fully refundable if family game night does not happen.
Shelia Tansley would like to go through TeacherWeb for $50 a year and buy a
more user friendly web
name. Colleen Hendon motioned to pay the $50 and Nikki Cammauf seconded the
motion
Mikki Cammauf brought in a catalog for next years fundraiser and mentioned
that the profit was only
40% but the company did all the footwork. The company also offered to
donate $1000.00 in prizes to
our carnival. It was agreed that the fact that the company did all the
footwork was well worth the
lesser percentage of profit. Carolyn Larson motioned to accept the new
company for fundraiser and
Jim Williams seconded the motion.
Shelia Weiss mentioned that with the grant that was written requesting
matching funding for new
computers, we could collect another $1,000 more or less by running a "Coins
For Computer" Campaign
in the classrooms. Vickie Raymond suggested that Student Council take over
the coin campaign.
FreshChoice fundraiser was given to the fifth graders to run. In exchange
the fifth graders will
recieve any profits realized.
Debi Lewis gave an overview of what to expect at Sierra Gardens 50th
Birthday Celebration. There
will be old cars out front, and a big banner and balloons. Music will be
playing from the 50's and
decorations will have 50's theme. There will be displays on tables from the
various decades. Debi
Lewis is thinking there will be a need for at least ten volunteers to man
the different display
tables to ensure all displays are safe. There will be cake and
refreshments, hot dogs, chips and
sodas will also be available. There will be a photo opportunity area with
pictures costing maybe
$2.00 She has invited many people and also the media, Good Day
Sacramento. Debi Lewis is
requesting a donation from the PTC of $200 to cover miscellaneous supplies.
Colleen Hendon motioned
and Janene Michalk seconded approval for said funds.
Shelia Weiss mentioned the need for a thank you to Safeway for the funds
recieved and Colleen Hendon
volunteered to use Library time to decorate a thank you poster. It should
be done within the next
two weeks.
Shelia Weiss brought up a program called the "Giving Back Program: and it
was decided by the members
present that it would not serve our students or their parents to pursue this
program.
The review meeting for Bylaws is still pending
The donation check for the Breakfast club has been issued and be hand
delivered
A notice will be sent out to find a volunteer to take over the plastic bag
recycling program.
A company has been selected to use for ordering school t-shirts. The order
form will go out right
