PLANNING FOR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR:
Prior to end of school year:
· Review minutes and organize possible completion dates for the next school year.
· Pick date for next year and get early on the calendar
· Identify actions that will need to take place very early in the school year
· Will there be money in the budget for expenses?
Think Abouts:
· Possible give aways for next Heritage Night:
· Books (was purchased by PTA in the past; consider types of books to give away) Ask PTA in the Fall, might be able to coordinate with Fall Book Fair
· Book marks (multicultural themes)
· Raffle with school type supplies (possibly from dollar store, drawn each half hour, items in small bags)
· Have passports for students/families to encourage movement to all areas, last stop could be the free book
· All members need to know where the diversity items are stored so that projects can be completed as needed
· Bulletin boards will be put up in the Fall (maybe as a welcome to the new school year) and Winter (maybe a scrapbook of pictures from Heritage Night)
· More advertizing opportunities for Heritage Night prior to the month? (sharing ideas or activities leading up to the event, display with some of the activities for the night,
