Principal's Report

Key Agenda Items:

Budget update: December financials were approved. Robert has talked to staff about needs and utilizing discretionary funds.
Website - establish end dates we will need to post by for all events and timely updates that need to go onto the website to then share to Scott. Best to give him a chunk of edits ideally monthly or biweekly rather than ad-hock so as not to overwhelm.
Staff Birthdays; coverage for the rest of year (add this to HPH as next ask?)
Fundraising updates
- Final Numbers
- Auctioneer
- Next year thoughts
- Raffle

Penguin Patch December 8-12 - proved to be highly fun for all and equitable, however a big time commitment and small percentage back. Next steps: Create a survey to gage community interest.

Resource: District Contact is Meena Sheehan, msheehan4@cherrycreekschools.org, (Donation posters come from SARS office seasonally). Shoutouts to Jeni Rinner, Beth Mankmeyer, Liz Sunshine.
