~Teacher appreciation week: We will do a lunch one day, and a small gift one day. Ideas are welcome.

~End of year stomp: We are looking at hiring the 97.1 DJ from earlier this year, he has enough black lights to light the gym. We were thinking a Neon beach theme. More info to come. Mr. Marchant will follow up with a date for us.

~Pancake breakfast: May 20 with our last donut date. We will pre sell tickets and invite the feeder 6th graders and their families.

~Next year/letter to students: We are really trying to reach incoming parents. A slide with Kim’s information has been added to the 6th grade registration info. A letter will go home with 6th graders in April about SRJH PTSA, the feeder elementary are putting notes in their newsletters too. Mr. Marchant will look into getting us the emails from the district so that we may reach the parents. We will also push for better communication to all parents.
