particular jobs (i.e. painting rock, decorating, putting up road
signs, etc.)
3. Check with PTSA to see what items they may already have that
you could use (i.e. Welcome Back banner, decorations, etc.)
4. Contact Priscilla Radcliff (OCS teacher assistant) in early
December to have front circle sign changed & ready for first
day of school in January
5. Speak with custodians in December to let them know your plans
& how early you will need to get into school on first day
back.
Proposed Budget: Approved Budget Amount:
Please summarize Committee’s proposed actions as it relates to
achieving stated goals and itemize how budgeted funds will be
used.
~ Our theme was “It's YOUR year . . . Let the Good Times Roll!”
We went with a Mardi Gras theme, with Mardi Gras decorations, Mardi
Gras music being played in front lobby, & gave away Mardi Gras
beads to those who wore their Senior t-shirt
~ We were lucky to only have to spend a little over $100 due to
using what the PTSA already had that was leftover from past events.
We used their Mardi Gras decorations & only had to buy
tinsel/garland for decorating. Those decorations are in a bin near
the auditorium, if needed again. PTSA also already owns a nice
“Welcome Back Seniors” banner that can be used.
~ The rock was painted by parents & students who donated
their own paint, so no money was used for that.
~ The chalk art on the front walk was done solely by Eileen
Winiecki & she used her own chalk
~ The committee has road signs already laminated & ready to
use. The only ones that need to be made are the ones with the
particular year on them. They are stored with the banner. We used
wooden stakes to display them (owned by Susanne Dudash), but you
can also use voter/real estate wire sign-holders, as well. It
depends on how frozen the ground may be in January, as stakes would
be more difficult.
~ We spent:
$31 on tinsel/garland to enhance the Mardi Gras decorations that
the PTSA already owned
$45 on candy to give away to seniors wearing their Senior
t-shirt (individually wrapped Twizzlers & Haribo gummy bears
from Office Max)
$29 on Mardi Gras beads to give away to seniors wearing their
Senior t-shirt. Bought at least 260 beads from Dollar Store. Could
have used even more, as the kids actually liked these & wanted
to wear them that day.
$0 on paint, as it was donated by parents who were painting the
rock
$0 on chalk, as it was donated by parent doing the chalk art
$0 on road signs, as we already have them (unless you want to
make your class year a separate sign)
~ We did the “Bucket List” cards, but haven't figured out where
to publish what the seniors actually wrote. PTSA still has many
“Bucket List” cards.
~ We used 2 of the big tables in the front lobby to hand out
beads & candy & have seniors write on the “Bucket List”
cards. They were covered with plastic tablecloths that are stored
in the Mardi Gras decoration bin.
~ We had about 8-10 parents there to man the tables, work the
music, etc.
List how the committee will promote the committee’s program,
events, and activities to students, staff, teachers, families,
parents and school community. For example, submit information to
the PTSA Falcon Forum, PTSA website. (Please also list months,
topic and member responsible if other than the chair.)
~ We basically used social media to get the word out to the
senior class & let them know to wear their Senior t-shirts that
day. The senior leaders tweeted it to their classmates. It was also
advertised on the Class of 2016 Facebook page. The news went out on
the Falcon News Feed, The PTSA's Falcon Forum, & the
principal's Sunday phone message.
