Mr. Vance was not in attendance. His report was read by Mary Kent:

Thanks to all the PTA chairpersons for their support and leadership this year. St.Vivian students are very lucky to have such a committed group of individuals as yourselves. Grade 7 enjoyed a day long leadership and drug resistance experience at Camp Campbell Gard on Monday, May 14th. Students were provided experiences in which they were to work and problem solve as a team. Hats off to the group planning the graduation reception! **The actual graduation mass will begin at 8:00 p.m. instead of 7:30 p.m. as previously published. This will allow us to turn on the air conditioning during the service.** Author Louise Borden will visit St.Vivian on May 23 and make a presentation to grades K-4 of her new book dedicated to Mrs.Dodd. The memorial to Mrs.Dodd will have 2 components in it: One will be a permanent memorial - a prayer/reading garden outside the library. The other will be an ongoing memorial of supporting writing and reading activities in the school. The activities will be supported through a grant that teachers can apply for each year. More info to follow.

6) GENERAL BUSINESS

a) The Ice Cream Social on 4/25 was a success.Mary Allgeier suggested getting a bit more ice cream for next year's event. She also suggested changing the entertainment for next year. Though the magic act was enjoyable, we've had the same act 2 years in a row.

b) The walk-a-thon went well last month, already bringing in $8,882.17 (before expenses) compared to last year's total of $8232.30. Laura Kalas reported that the lower grades were very enthusiastic about participating, but that the junior high students were more apathetic about the event. She suggested a change in the way the older grades participate might raise their level of enthusiasm for this fundraiser.

7) NEW BUSINESS

a) A reminder: The Faculty/Staff Appreciation Dinner is on Wednesday, May 16th at The Grove.

b) The total # of labels collected this year for the Campbell's Labels for Education Program was 22,041. The top 3 homerooms for the 2000-01 school year are:

1st Place: Mrs.Deller (2nd grade) 1700 labels

2nd Place: Mrs. Liderbach (4th grade) 1470 labels

3rd Place: Mrs. Hendricks (4th grade) 1398 labels
