Wendy Jung conducted the meeting in Kate Foye's absence. There were six members in attendance. Both the Secretary and Treasurer's reports were presented and accepted.
Old Business:

- The Teacher Appreciation breakfasts were held at both buildings and good food was had by all.
- The Tupperware fund-raiser is complete and orders should be here next week.
- Mary Sreden will be contacting Wendy re: Scoop Night at Dot's by the end of May.
- The status of the fifth grade T-shirts is in flux. Mark is in charge.
