Mohave PTO Packets
Going out this week

PTO Today Gift bags
Packets didn’t get here in time. Patty suggested handing out at band or choir concert, along with a tax credit form. Needs to go to parents only as there are cough medication samples enclosed.
Mr. A
Coffee with Chris in September; plans to share data about kids and what Mohave focuses on. Patty asked if we need someone to bring donuts and he said he’s just going to have coffee
Mr. A also talked about speaking with Office Steele and having the officers come back to talk to parents
Fundraising Updates
Papa John’s dates set for entire school year: 8/31, 11/30, 2/22, 5/3
California Pizza Kitchen is locked in for two dates; 10/18, 1/16; Both CPK dates are early release days; thought was, since new manager of CPK will give 20% of sales back all day, we should try to drive both lunch and dinner traffic
Scott discussed with the CPK manager hanging a banner at Mohave on the fence by the drop off line, will confirm and see who this needs to be approved by at Mohave prior to hanging it up
Harkins movie night; discussed having the movie night in December again; there are two options; Aquaman (12/21 release date) & Spider-Man (12/14 release date)
Decided that Spider-Man would be the better (more popular) option and the timing was better
Discussed having the movie night on the December early release day (12/12), however this won’t work since the movie doesn’t release until 12/14
Scott to work with Harkins on another day; explore Sat or Sun 12/15-16 or Monday 12/17 if the weekend is cost prohibitive
Discussed having Mr. Coronado dress up in a Spider-Man costume (Mr. A said he could make it happen!)
Discussed having the same mom that works for Disney (that provided the light sabers last year) help with some giveaways for the movie night
