More volunteers needed for Friday - Adam and Mandy will volunteer as cashiers
Need to get some HSA swag to sell - Denise will bring everything and about 20 signs on Wednesday during drop off.
Teacher Appreciation Week (Sam) - We’ll be stocking the teacher lounge each day with something different. Sam will send a summary to the principal and copy Rich to make sure staff are informed of the goodies!
Monday: coffee/tee
Tuesday: pretzels
Wednesday: continental breakfast
Thursday: soda and snacks
Friday: Federal Donuts
Benches (Adam) - We will move forward with negotiation with a seller to hopefully purchase 4 for about $1,000. If it works out, he and Sam can pick up the benches. Steph will put out a call to the neighborhood to donate via neighborhood FB groups. (Maybe also create a sticker/sign to put in the yard for neighborhood users of our yard to donate!)
Broken shed and chairs - We will be taking down the shed and replacing it with a long, sturdier deck box. Replacing it with a shed will require person-power we don’t have and it will likely get damaged again. Jeremy is willing to help dissemble the old shed, and we’ll need some helpers.
Graduation support - We will get lanyards and give that plus a Lea sticker to each graduate. Steph will write to Mr. Harper to see what language his students would want on the lanyards. Buy the ones with plastic card holders that can be vertical or horizontal.
End of year celebration: We will not move forward with the usual system but will instead investigate the idea of getting the family who owns an ice cream truck to set up during one of the last week’s of school. We could probably cover free water ice or ice cream for all for about $700. Rich will follow up with Brown to contact the ice cream truck and the principal to find a date.
Other: Talk about the possibility of an HSA volunteer helping with the Lea express at our June meeting.
HSA Election: Everyone present voted to confirm Sam for HSA president and Mandy for HSA secretary. Denise is open to possibly serving as treasurer; she will reach out to Megan.
