Old Business:
? None.
New Business:
? Wallace PTO Facebook: Sara Maule opened for discussion that a couple of parents noted the
picture on the site is the old Wallace building. Do we want to start a committee or have a
person who takes ownership for the site. It could also be revamped to make it a closed group.
This would possibly allow us to post pictures from events. When weather improves we’ll get a

new picture of the building for the FB page. Melissa Schafer will take charge of posting events
etc. going forward. Send events to her or to Renea to be forwarded to her. Communications
Chair in charge of social media and related duties is new position.
Committee Reports:
1. Box Tops: Total was $382.70, significantly less than we usually have.
2. Book Fair: Financial reporting not yet fully completed. Sales were $10,110.00 – a new record!
No one attended the special event. Almost all Silver Cord kids did not show up for their shifts,
and Sara will be following up with their coordinator.
3. Special Events: Jess shared that for the roller-skating party they gave us a free party for May.
She is going to check with Suzie for approval. Communication will be forthcoming if approved.
Next year we may try restaurant nights for community building that can also be a fundraising
source.
4. Academic Night: Everyone should have received email communication about the upcoming
event. Morgan will put it in the newsletter, too.
5. Yearbook: Payments due by April 1 st .
6. Spring Fundraiser: Had meeting with Boosterthon at the beginning of the month. April 25 th will
be the date. Goal is $20,000. She would like new library furniture from this fundraiser. This
would be Phase 1 of a plan for the library. Boosterthon team will be here starting April 16 th to
start connecting with each class. If we meet the school goal, one kid from each grade will be
randomly selected to slime Suzie! For discussion:
a. Name for the Fun Run: Wallace Dragon Trot was decided on
b. Option to buy t-shirts: They’ll personalize them however we want, but this will require
us to find corporate sponsors for a total of $2800.00 needed. Decided not to do it this
year but may decide to do it in the future possibly.

7. Picture Day: This Thursday.
Open Forum for Questions:
? Artome: Renea clarified the expectations from the company.
Meeting Adjourned:
Brittany Hogue moved to adjourn, Sara Maule seconded. Adjourned at 7:50 pm
