Discussion:
Discussion was held concerning preschool, if we should still accept 3 year olds. One Board member didn't think that we should because daycares are not happy about us taking their business away and 3 year olds should be at home, not at preschool which is just a glorified, free daycare.
The Booster Club wants 2 projectors & screens installed in the gym, they are considering fundraising ideas for that project. They want to advertise their corporate sponsors on a tv or some device at school activities. |
