OAK HILL COMMUNITY COUNCIL

STEERING COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES

Minutes for Steering Committee Meeting on 12/14/05

1) Minutes from 11/16/05 were approved and copies made available.
2) In attendance were Ronnie Connell, Brenda Bair, Monica McEachern, Melissa Davis, Donna Batson and Janet Gerard.
3) Wreath Update: Only 4 wreaths are left.
4) Rummage sale update: The sale was very successful. It is an easy way to raise funds. Next year we will need more people to help, especially with set up and pricing.
5) Alumni Committee: The cookie party will be held on Jan 2nd from 2 to 4 pm. There may be cookies left from the faculty cookie trays.
6) Fac/Staff Appreciation: 12 people have volunteered to bake treats and 4 people have offered to put the trays together on Thursday in the morning.
7) Boosters Club: They will be in need of people to work concessions Jan thru Mar for the basketball season.
8) Garden Committee: Most of the work has slowed down. The remainder will happen in the spring. If Karen can find out where the school would like some trees planted, she could do a tree planting training session. She’d like to get them in before the end of Jan.
9) Lower School Pool: Jane Waite is no longer able to do this, so Melissa Davis is taking over and will be letting the lower school teachers know that they can come to her with their needs and questions.
10) Student Council: Student tutoring has been introduced to Bryce and the council by Joel. They believe it will help retain students at school and help the upper school students realize they are able to help and are an influence on the younger students.
11) The trees offered for sale was a great idea. Maybe next year we could have them set up and displayed a little better.
12) Heather Henderson has shown an interest in putting together a new family handbook. Janet would be willing to help by defining such events as winterim, quiz night, pizza Friday and the lunch program.
13) Donna will bring snacks to the next meeting which will be on Jan. 18th at 3:15.
