Henry C. Hall Middle School PTA
GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING MINUTES
Meeting of Tuesday, September 7, 2004
8:30pm • Hall Middle School
Welcome:
President Rebecca Sarokin called the meeting to order at 8:30pm. A
quorum was present.
Fundraisers:
- Membership: Rebecca asked all to join PTA and support its programs.
- Lunch Snacks: starting soon, as a 4 day/week fundraising program
(Jamba Juice, burritos, bagels, and pizza). Still looking for volunteers.
Thanks to Jean Suliteanu and Jan Smith for taking the lunch snack project
on. [PTA will not offer a full lunch option this year. TJ’s went
out of business unexpectedly, and the state lunch requirements are
quite stringent.]
- Chalk Festival: Upcoming on October 1, 3:15-5:00. Still looking for
volunteers. Thanks to Leigh Estes for managing it.
Measure G:
The Citizens for Tam District High School are working hard to assure
the passage of Measure G in November, the Parcel Tax upon which Redwood
High School relies for many of its programs. Barbara Solomon is staffing
a table outside, asking for volunteers to help.
West Side Story:
Becky Reed is directing West Side Story at Hall. She invited all to
encourage their children to participate, and to attend the performances.
Budget:
Rebecca presented the proposed 2004-05 budget. It was moved (Ann Arabian),
seconded (Diana Putterman) and passed unanimously that we accept the
budget.
Principal’s Report:
Daniel Norbutus reported that the play structure is expected to be complete
by the end of next week; that the 4 new teachers are doing well; and
the new 6th graders are making a good transition. He thanked the Foundation
for funding the new chorus (Mr. Brungess held a meeting last week), and
the new full-time counselor (who should be starting soon). He also thanked
the PTA for the new signboard, classroom supplies, and LCD projectors
in the classrooms.
Board Report:
Michael Futterman mentioned that the Larkspur School District parcel
tax expires in June. The tax provides 20% of the District budget. The
Board expects to request a new parcel tax in the March election and will
be looking for people to help assure its passage.
Meeting was adjourned at 8:45pm
