Capital Project
            We want BIG ideas!!! Think of anything that would reach the biggest population of kids. 
Community funds of $1500 that we donate to other schools that don’t get as much funding. Discussion about maybe providing more for other schools and kids in the community that are not as fortunate as Candalaria. 

POPCORN FRIDAY NEEDS VOLUNTEERS!!!! Same parents are running this every Friday. We need more parents to spread the Fridays around, so no one has to work each Friday. Possibly move to one Friday per month. 
            
Send out an email and print out about possibly changing popcorn Friday to go to twice a month on popcorn and every Friday for candy sales out front. Due to too much pressure on too few volunteers. 

Next Meeting December 4th
