<br />
Thank you to all who could make it to our PTA meeting tonight. Due to the Veteran's Day holiday, next month's meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 18th in the Dike Newell Library, at 6:30pm. <br />
<br />
Minutes from tonight's meeting will be posted soon. <br />
<br />
In the meantime...<br />
<br />
Our <b>Charleston Wraps</b> fundraiser ends this week! Get those forms in by <b>Friday, October 17th</b> and don't forget about the link on the homepage. You can shop online easily, too! This is our biggest, most profitable fundraiser of the year! <br />
<br />
<b>Friday, October 24th</b> is the <b>Hallowe'en Dance</b>! We are looking for volunteers to bring some snacks we can sell during the dance. Items that can be sold as small individual snacks are best. All items are sold for 25 cents! Volunteers are also needed to help chaperone, decorate, sell snacks and photo'booth tickets, and clean up! The dance runs from 6:30pm - 8pm at Fisher Mitchell School. Check the flier that went home or contact us for more info!<br />
<br />
Are you looking for ways to help out with the PTA, but cannot always attend meetings?! We know, it's hard to extract ourselves from dinner, after-school activities, younger siblings, and life, to always make meetings. That's fine! We are looking for volunteers to help with any and all of the events and fundraisers put on throughout the whole school year. If you're interested in helping with just one thing, that would be great! Our goal is to have as many families involved as possible throughout the year.<br />
Please contact us at any time with ideas, questions, or if you'd like to help. bathelementarypta@gmail.com or you can call Wendy Jung at 207-653-5500.<br />
<br />
Every year the Bath Elementary PTA works very hard to provide fun events and educational opportunities to our students, while raising money to help support further educational endeavors both in and out of the classroom all year. This year we are adding several new ways to help support our students and teachers and most require very little effort from you! In addition to our regularly scheduled events and fundraisers we are adding several options for you to donate while you shop for things you already buy. Many retailers offer to donate a portion of your purchase back to our schools, all you have to do is sign up, or shop through a specific link provided on the right side of this blog, and the Bath Elementary PTA will receive a donation. Easy peasy! Check the links on the side and please LIKE and FOLLOW our Facebook page to stay up to date on what's what. ====><br />
<br />
Coming home soon.... School Directory forms, T-shirt and school spirit item sales, and info on how you can recycle ink cartridges and electronic devices and raise money for our schools! <br />

President Kate
Foye was out of town, so Wendy Jung conducted the meeting. There were 8
members in attendance. Both the Secretary and Treasurer's reports were
shared and approved.</div>
<div>
<br />
</div>
Old Business:</div>
<ul>
<li>The group reviewed the Spring Fling
Dance and were pleased to have made a profit of over $600. There were
considerably less kids there, but it was noted that behaviors were not
up to par, lots of aimless running around in a lot of gym space. We're
going to stress the need for careful parent supervision for future
dances.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Holly extended the Tupperware fund raiser's due date. At this
point Holly reported that $1800 has been raised, not counting online
orders. The PTA will receive 40% of the take minus expenses for fliers
etc.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Mary Sreden will be getting back to the PTA about a date for scoop night at Dot's.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Wendy
spoke with Melissa Finnemore re: T-shirts for 5th graders. We plan to
order them as soon as possible. The PTA has booked the BMS cafeteria
for the annual 5th grade dance which will be held on <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_813076962" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">May 30th</span></span> this year.</li>
</ul>
New Business: </div>
<ul>
<li>Wendy conducted a discussion about providing T-shirts for all
students next year. This will be costly and people suggested asking
parents to contribute a dollar toward the purchase price.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Catherine Buotte had an idea for the PTA to sell flowers at the upcoming second grade concert on <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_813076963" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">May 21st</span></span>. Jessica Irish will speak with Hawkes Greenhouse regarding price etc.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Catherine also discussed the annual Screen Free Week events for the week of <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_813076964" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">May 5-11th</span></span>.
Plans include the following activities: visit to Maine Maritime
Museum, YMCA night, Bingo, PE with Ms. McCauley, and possibly a science
evening with Ms. Dunham. Finalizing the plans depends on when the Museum
night can be scheduled. Certificates and prizes will be issued to
students.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Candy mentioned Teacher Appreciation Day. It was decided that breakfast will be provided on <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_813076965" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Friday, May 9th</span></span>, at both schools. Parents will be notified about sending in goodies.</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div>
No principals were in attendance.<br />
</div>
The meeting ended at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_813076966" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">7:30</span></span>. The May meeting will be on <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_813076967" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Tuesday, May 13th</span></span> in the D/N School Library beginning at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_813076968" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">6:30 PM</span></span>.Bath Elementary PTA's Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16050889679874486488noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1106435620166989617.post-37867234828088528982014-04-07T21:40:00.002-04:002014-04-08T21:50:29.522-04:002014 Summer Camp Scholarship Program<div class="fauxcolumn-inner">

The Bath Elementary PTA Board recognizes the joys of summer camp should be accessible to all children, and understands that for many families the cost can be a great financial burden. This was the motivation for their application to the Davenport Trust Fund, who has generously donated funds for 1-week summer camp scholarships for students who are experiencing a financial hardship. The PTA is extremely grateful to the Davenport Trust Fund and the following camp programs for their generous support of our elementary school children and their families for a sixth year.<br />
<br />
<br />
The following is a description of the application process for a limited amount of 2014 Summer Camp Scholarships:<br />

<b><br />Transportation:</b><br />

There were 10 members in attendance. Kate thanked all of the attendees and provided some delicious apple crisp! Both the secretary and treasurer’s reports were read and approved.<br />
<br />
<b>Old business</b> included discussion of the upcoming Charleston Wrap fund-raiser. Kate reported that the catalogs arrived at F/M. Eileen Beasley will transport some to D/N. All catalogs will be distributed to students for families. Kate is hoping that October 17th will be the due date for orders and the goods <br />
should arrive about one month after. The Halloween Dance preparations are underway with many parents volunteering both time and food/drink. There will be prizes from Dot’s, Bath Book Shop, Island Toys, and the Sweet Shoppe for funniest, scariest, cutest, and most original costumes. Soggy Dog photo booth will be at the dance for pictures. Geniene reported that the Box Top Challenge is off and running at both schools. D/N staff has decided to compete by grade levels this year.<br />
<br />
<b>New business</b> included a discussion of the RSU 1 school renovation bond. Kate hopes that parents will support the bond in order to provide needed repairs to Bath schools. The annual Holiday Fair will be held at D/N on December 9th & 10th this year. Kim Gates continues as chairperson of this event. She’s looking for a successor now that her daughter will be leaving elementary school this year. Kate reported that she needs volunteers for the dance but is pleased with the support of all present. Geniene presented a request from the Wellness Committee at D/N to have healthy snacks available for teachers at the parent conference evenings in November. Kate will be investigating possible donations from the Sandwich Shop or Subway. Sarah offered to update the PTA blog and agreed to post the meeting minutes there as well- thank you Sarah!<br />
<br />
Kate closed the meeting at 7:15PM.<br />

<br />
The
Bath Elementary PTA board recognizes that the joys of summer camp
should be accessible to all children, and understands that for many
families the cost can be a great financial burden. This was the
motivation for their application to the Davenport Trust Fund who
generously donated funds for 1-week summer camp scholarships for families who
are experiencing a financial hardship. The PTA is extremely grateful to
the Davenport Trust Fund and the following camp programs for their generous support of our elementary
school children and their families for a fifth year. The following is a
description of the application process for a limited amount of 2013
Summer Camp scholarships.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />• Who is eligible?</span>
<br />
- Currently enrolled students (2012-2013 school year) at Dike-Newell and Fisher Mitchell.<br />
- Financial need determined based on free & reduced lunch program guidelines.<br />
- If funds allow, applications from other families who are not eligible for free & reduced lunch, but who are experiencing significant financial hardship, will be considered.<br />
- $10 contribution will be required from families per awarded 1-week scholarship, due with camp registration forms by Monday, May 6th.<br />
- Scholarship funds are limited. If the number of applicants surpasses funds, applicants will be selected randomly in a lottery system with an equal number of scholarships per grade level.<span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">• How do I apply? </span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><br />

<strong>Meeting Minutes</strong><br />
<strong>October 9, 2012</strong><br />
<br />
Number in Attendance: 7<br />
<strong><u>Secretary’s Report</u></strong><br />
The group voted to approve the minutes from the June and September’s meetings. The minutes can be viewed on the PTA blog.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Treasurer’s Report</u></strong><br />
The group vote to approve the Treasurer’s report as presented.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Old Business</u></strong><br />
The Charleston Wraps fundraiser was discussed. This fundraiser continues until the end of the week and there are still more large orders coming in. It is hoped that packages will arrive before conferences so that they may be sent home with parents after they meet with teachers. If not, something else will have to be discussed, like a pick up time.<br />
<br />
The Halloween dance flyer was shared with the group. It was suggested that a donation box be available at the dance so people can make an extra contribution if they choose. This is usually a good fundraiser for the PTA and will hopefully do better with the addition of a photo booth. Wendy is working on photo tickets for families to buy at the front table. Not having to deal with money will be a huge help to Wendy and her helpers. There will be three costume contest categories with the winner receiving a $5 gift card to the Bath Book Shop.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>New Business</u></strong><br />
Two new members joined the PTA.<br />
<br />
Kate shared some information about grants at Dike Newell with the group. Kathy Henrikson has received a $500 donorschoose.org grant for a teaching easel for her classroom.<br />
<br />
The new t-shirts for the schools were discussed. It is the PTA’s goal to build up enough money from sales to be able to provide shirts for incoming students (kindergartners and 3rd grade at FM)<br />
<br />
The Book Fairs begins Tuesday November 13th at Dike Newell and on the 16th, 19th, and 20th at Fisher Mitchell. Set up will be the same as last year. Students at Dike Newell can choose a book that is $5.99 or less and Fisher Mitchell students can spend up to $6.99. The reason for the price difference is that it costs more for age appropriate books for the older students. Parents’ night will be on November 15th at Dike Newell from 6:00 to 7:30. Wendy Ulmer will be there to read her book A Isn’t For Fox. <br />
<br />
Read a thon letters will go home on the 15th. It is hoped that the change in the date will work well and it will be a better fundraiser for the literacy fund.<br />
<br />
Kap Young made a request for the kindergarten group. They are going to Wolfe Neck Farm on October 26th and 30th. They would like to have PTA support to help cover the cost of the trip and reduce the amount of money they request from families. The cost is $6 per person and they are asking for $150 from the PTA. It was unanimously VOTED: to give the kindergarten team $250 to help cover the cost and reduce the amount asked of families to $5.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Principal’s Comment</u></strong><br />
Dr. Harriman gave the group an update on One Book One School which will actually be called One Author One School this year.<br />

While this is a fabulous opportunity, it presents a challenge with how to ensure that there are enough volunteers daily to prepare the food. Ideas to address the need for staffing this include accessing the culinary students at the Voc School, approaching Churches and the Senior Citizen center, collaborating with the Wellness Committee to recruit volunteers, Access Health Maine (through MidCoast Hospital). The PTA plans to ask DN for more details about the grant. <br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><b>Congratulations to
all the 5<sup>th</sup> grade graduates of the D.A.R,E program!</b> With the
guidance of Corporal Marc Brunelle from the Bath Police Department students
were taught how to resist peer pressure and live productive, drug and
violence-free lives. Now it’s time for parents to hone their tips and
tools to keep kids safe! In anticipation of your child’s transition to
Middle School, the staff of <a href="http://www.midcoastparentsconnect.org/"><b>Mid Coast Parents Connect</b></a> (<a href="http://www.midcoastparentsconnect.org/" target="_blank">www.midcoastparentsconnect.org</a>
), the parent campaign of <a href="http://www.midcoastcasa.org/"><b>Communities Against Substance Abuse (CASA)</b></a>, <a href="http://www.midcoastcasa.org/" target="_blank">(www.midcoastcasa.org</a>)
will be hosting a “Parent Social” in the Home Economics Room at the Bath Middle
School, to coincide with the 5<sup>th</sup> grade dance. We’ll be serving
<b>FREE</b> coffee and snacks (did someone say chocolate covered strawberries?)
and we’ll have a raffle drawing for Subway gift cards, as we recognize that
having a family dinner together is a great way to connect with your
child. We’ll also have info. on after school activities in Bath that your incoming 6<sup>th</sup>
grader might be interested in. So avoid extra driving and come by to see
us and meet new parents while your child dances the night away! <b>FMI,
373-6958.</b></span></div>Bath Elementary PTA's Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16050889679874486488noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1106435620166989617.post-66151426603270799152012-05-09T10:29:00.002-04:002012-05-09T10:29:45.323-04:00Bath Elementary PTA Meeting Minutes, May 8, 2012<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>
