6. Open Floor
· Reflecting on Penny Wars
-Ideas for next year: Place bins around flagpole if weather will allow to space kids out more.
-Plans for excess funds: put a camera up in Dash’s habitat, informational tiles with QR code outside of Dah’s habitat to educate.
-Use excess funds for more community events: Donuts for Grownups twice a year (December & Spring).
· Idea of how parents can celebrate birthdays:
-Can parent purchase digital marquee out front for birthdays? No, because it is labor intensive and only 1 person is trained on each campus to do this. PTSO is only allowed 15 per year and we raffle these.
-Other idea: Can PTSO purchase a letter tile marquee that parents can pay to put celebration information on? Yes, we need to see what this would look like and where we would put in. Lacey to possibly look into this.

-Parents/ businesses/ students are encourages to help with vacuuming classrooms, sweeping sidewalks, washing windows, and other projects.
