The meeting was called to order by Ms.

the President
of our Ambassador’s, Jacob Hurwitz, who gave an overview
of their
upcoming plans for the school year.
Mr. Muth wanted to thank Hungry Howies
Pizza for supplying
all the pizza
for DARE graduation. We appreciate their
efforts.
During the break, ceramic tile will be
installed in the cafeteria.

A motion to approve the 10/16/07
minutes was made by Mike

seconded by Mary Ward and approved.
3) COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT W. Muth
v One for Books J. Dobbert
Mrs. Dobbert presented the idea of a
program called “One for the
Books.” This program basically collects funds for a
school or entity that
doesn’t have
the funding to purchase books. The
program is run
through
Scholastic. In addition to the funds
collected, Scholastic
will match
with books given to three of their chosen charity organizations.
Mrs. Dobbert reported the book fair raised over $15,000.
Ashton PTO will receive
25%.
Mr. Padgett suggested Children’s Haven
organization might be a place
to adopt for
a Community Service Project.
A question was raised about whether
Ashton students could purchase books to donate. Mrs. Dobbert suggested that in the future
some of the A+ monies might be used to
give students a voucher to use at the book fair as a reward.
Our Community Service Project should
involve as many students as possible working
along with their parents to support the project that is chosen.
Let’s make a final decision in January
so we can get started. Mrs. Dobbert
will contact
the media specialist at Lakeview to see exactly how the “One for the Books” program works.
Mrs. Schatz was made aware of a
student with an illness. Could our civic
project help
this family or possibly the Make a Wish Foundation? Mr. Muth did
inform the SAC of the student’s illness.
Channel 40 will be doing a
piece on this
family. Also, the Landings was able to
procure a computer
for the
family since their computer was broken.
The family travels
back and
forth to All Children’s. Donations for
gift cards or cash may
be given to
Donna.
4) PTO UPDATE PTO
Rep
Mrs. Schatz - Outback Night was
