Old Business:
Spirit Wear Fundraising Update was given by Linsie. She let us know what was sold and what we have in stock.
St Paddy’s Day Treats: Teachers and staff loved the Girl Scout treat bags that Karin and Julie made.
Warrior Wardrobe Update: Heather Miller is organizing volunteers to work on the project. Julie Jorgensen picked up a good amount of clothes/donations from the High School clothes closet and has them in her garage awaiting a date to drop them at the middle school.
Dubbs Karate Fundraiser Update: 250.00 was raised. Thank you to Stacey Rice for setting up the fundraiser. Check was presented in front of GAMS with Julie Jorgensen, Mrs. Herb, Mr. Stachelek, and Vince and April Fannon in attendance.
Book Fair Update: Stacey Rice worked with Mrs. Guy to promote the virtual book fair. 736.00 was made which is much better than last book fair.
PSSA Donuts and Coffee: Linsie Jonas coordinated with Giant to give the PTO a 50.00 gift card which almost covered the purchase of donuts and the PTO picked up RAGGED EDGE coffee to treat the teachers and staff at their PSSA planning meeting. Teachers loved it!
Karin gave a shout out to Stacey Rice and Wendy Brubaker on doing an awesome job on the Facebook and Instagram sites!

New PTO Member Update: Getting new PTO members for next year’s PTO was discussed. Having a table at the Back to School night was decided to be the best avenue. Also sending out flyers to 5th grade parents was thought to be a good idea.
Smitha Nair contacted Linsie Jonas, who volunteered to take over operation of the PTO as Julie Jorgensen and Karin Palmer’s daughters will be moving to the High School, and stated she would donate funds to start the GAMS PTO for next year. Thank you Aura Integrative Medicine and Smitha Nair!
