Survey Results – Observations and Feedback � School Council members need to consider the small sample size of the survey when considering any results. � Some parents commented on wanting the McMillan fundraiser to return. Because of the nature of the product, McMillan is a lot of work to sort and deliver. Council would rather look at something simpler. � Forty-seven percent of parents surveyed wanted to see fundraising dollars spent on computers and software. Computers are based on student population. Is there a part School Council can play in funding more? � Sixty-eight percent of parents do not know how Cameron Street spends its fundraising dollars. Better communication is needed so parents know where the money is going. Will continue monthly
updates in the newsletter. It was suggested field trip permission forms highlight what a trip would have cost without fundraising contributions. The message needs to be clear and consistent. � New parents to the school need to be better informed about fundraising and how it helps the school. ACTION: Patricia working on a brochure for kindergarten parents and new families to the school. She will bring it to Council for feedback. 7. Grade Eight Ottawa trip – � The grade eight students will distribute the Pita lunches every Tuesday for 10% of the profit earned. Motioned by Nicole Hagreen and seconded by Carla Bull. Passed. � Patricia Wark and Jill Lougheed have met to discuss other fundraising opportunities. These include a movie night, a Pita Night (similar to a McDonald’s night), dance-a-thon, breakfast or spaghetti dinner. All of these ideas promote school spirit, offer an opportunity for all Grade 8 students to participate and allow for the students to learn how a fundraising event works from beginning through to end. � Council would like to see initiative from grade eight students to raise funds for their trip to Ottawa and then will look at doing more. Suggestions were higher percentage of Pita profit or all profit generated in the month of March will go towards easing the cost of the trip. 8. Fundraising – Review from now to June – � Kelly Bowen has found a dry mix substitute for McMillan. Gourmet Creations offers an all natural, no preservatives, dry mix for cookies, muffins etc. (all you have to do is add milk and eggs). Decision to try it out as we have been trying various new things this year. Could market this as something to do over March Break. Information will come out last week in January. If we sell less than 200 units will have to pay a shipping charge. It comes from Vancouver. � Carla Bull looking into Chuck-a-Puck event. � February- looking at a Valentine’s gift for a donation at Canadian Tire. � In May School Council will be organizing a trunk sale. It was also suggested to add a used book sale and a BBQ to this event. � June will be the Carnival. � Dates for fundraising events must be decided on. If there is a particular event you wish to run or be part of organizing please email Patricia Wark.
