CURLEY SCHOOL PARENT COUNCIL MEETING
November 8, 2012
On Wednesday, November 8, amidst the Nor’easter, twenty-two parents braved the weather to gather for the monthly School Parent Council Meeting. It was a productive meeting headed up by newly elected co-chairs Dave Demerjian and Genevieve Day. The meeting consisted of a series of updates: SPC budget by Kimberly Rand, Fundraising by Molly Marino and Jess Ormsby, School Site Council by Leah Barcan, Communications and BPS Budget Advocacy by Heshan Berents-Weeramuni and School Yard Initiative Phase 2, AKA “Dreams for a Soccer Field” by Rebecca Nieto and Genevieve Day.
Stay tuned for details on these ways that you can help in the upcoming months:
Friend-raiser Letter:
We hope to tap into the generosity of our extended family, friends and employers as the year-end charitable giving deadline approaches. Willing parents will be asked to supply a few names and addresses and a personalized letter requesting a donation to the school will be prepared for them. Parents to just sign and mail!
Holiday Centre Street Shopping Event:
Shop local and support the Curley on Tuesday, December 11th. Boing! has generously agreed to donate a portion of proceeds from that day to the Curley. We are working to get some other shops involved. Plan your shopping accordingly!
Gift-wrapping at Barnes and Noble:
Curley volunteers will wrap holiday gifts outside of Barnes & Noble at the Prudential Mall. We’ll be looking for parents to help with 2-hours shifts. It’s fun and Curley school keeps all proceeds.
School Preview Tours
Help show off our school to prospective parents on Nov. 16, Dec. 7 and Jan 11, all at 9:00 am.
Could you come to an SPC meeting if it were held in the morning? In order to accommodate more parents, we are going to experiment with a 8:30 am time slot every other month. Try to come to the next meeting!
