Principal’s Report:

 

  • The Terra Nova Tests for Grades 3, 5, & 7 have started this week.  All seems to be going well.

  • I am in the process of doing “formal” teacher evaluations for K-8 and the specials.

  • Registration packets for returning families will go home with the Wednesday Notes per family.  The registration forms need to be returned by Friday, March 19th.

  • Spring Break begins on Friday, March 19, 2010 at 2:30 p.m.  School resumes on Monday, March 29, 2010.

  • As of today, we have 26 Kindergarten students, which includes 10 school families.  Three new first graders and two fourth graders for the next school year.  I have given several tours of the school in the last three weeks for Grades 2, 3, 5 & 7.  Hopefully, they will register soon.

  • The PTC Spring fundraiser Easter Candy Sale info from World’s Finest will go home with Wednesday Notes and due back by March 15th.  The price across the board is $5 per item.  The profit is for the Rowland Reading Program for K-2 (a phonics/language arts based concept).

  • The Trivia Night was a great success with 15 tables of 10 or more.  A profit of over $3,500 was brought in that night.

 

Pastor’s Report:

 

  • Congratulations on Trivia Night.  Next time make an announcement at the church.

  • Pray for St. John.  On Thursday and Friday, a selection will be made for the new priest.

  • On June 12th, there will be a farewell mass at 4:30 for Father Bob along with a coffee and cake after the masses on the 13th.

  • On June 6th at the 11:00 mass will be Deacon Joe Micah’s first mass.

Old Business:

 

Trivia Night:

 

  • A profit of $3,500 was made that night.

  • Consider a Silent Auction that starts prior to Trivia Night and closes on that night.  This will help to raise additional monies.

  • One participant at the event suggested that a round be given for an additional $100.00.  It’s like a Mulligan, where participants pay $10 each round to get one answer.  In the case of the suggestion, participants would pay $100 to get all 10 answers in one round.  The MC would pick the round at random (round 10 excluded) before the event starts and people can chose to pay if they want.

 

 

New Business:

 

Involvement:

 

  • Info will be transferred to school laptop.

  • Trish will work on it as soon as she gets it and will update it.

 

Update on Budget:

 

  • The cost to educate a child at SJE is $5,510.  We are no where near that figure.

  • There was a 4% increase in tuition for the 2010-2011 School Year.

  • Tuition increases have never covered salary increases.  Need ideas to raise money to cover costs.

  • Possibly make some fundraiser events mandatory.

  • Inform school parents that their employers might have matching donor gifts.

 

Miscellaneous:

 

  • Colleen will be meeting with the Bartlett Chamber of Commerce to discuss membership.

  • Bartlett Raiders are having registration soon.  Do we have SJE pamphlets to give out?

  • St. Mary in West Chicago is closing.  Father Bob suggested that Sister Zachary contact their principal to get mailing list.  Possibly offer parishioner rate for 1st year.

 

 

Adjourned:  8:55 p.m.
