JANUARY 6, 2005

Meeting called to order at 3:03 p.m.

Welcome: The Sign-in sheet, Snack sheet, Snow Cone party sheet, and Jog-A-Thon volunteer sheet were passed around.

Principal’s Report:

• The registrar has been busy enrolling 16 new students to Brentwood since Tuesday!

• Sarasota County Schools were awarded the Gold Medal National award for excellence.
• We currently have an opening for a part-time PE Instructor.

Mr. McQueen’s Report:

• On January 19, please visit the McDonald’s on Bee Ridge near Gold’s Gym. It’s Brentwood Night and 10% of the night’s sales will benefit our ESE program.
• Thanks to Holly Mailloux, Morgan Rivers, Melissa Jeffrey and everyone who worked at the Holiday Gift Shop. It was a true success and the kids loved it!
• We would like the PTO to consider purchasing a small marquis sign for the back of the school since there are so many more parents dropping their kids off in this location since the opening of the new two-story building.
• There is an after-care opening at Brentwood. The hours are from 2:30 – 6:00 p.m. and it pays $11.17/hour.

• Check out Channel 20 for more information on Mrs. Ray’s Pillows for Patriots project.
