    Redfield PTSA Meeting Tuesday, August 15, 2107 at 5:15 p.m. Redfield Elementary Media Center Members present: Karla Chase, Felicia Ethridge, Amanda Evans, Amy Hermann, Dawn Kopplin, Shawn Nichols, Leauna Peterson Angela Rice, Terri Roth, Janell Shottenkirk. Shawn gave treasures report. The all-school reunion committee will be donating approximately $10,000 for the playground equipment as well. Mrs. Walder thinks the playground equipment will be roughly $40,000 if we don’t do a specific color. We bundled Redfield Food Center receipts as people arrived. Karla will take a picture of some of the things we got with last year’s receipts and we’ll post on facebook and make a display to let people know how much we appreciate the receipts. Karla did some checking with the state PTA on some questions we had, she has not got answers yet. We decided we will lower membership dues to $5 as long as we don’t have to pay out more than that. We need to keep our membership with the state PTA because of the insurance that we pay half for and post prom pays half. Karla will get the membership forms sent out next Monday. We will put on bright colored paper this year and have the due date of September 25th. We will also include “everyone is a member” and list our PTSA facebook page. The book fair will be held October 3-6. Karla will also send next week the volunteer forms and we will post on facebook. Hopefully we can find a website to use to make signing up much easier.

I wanted to take the time to share with you where we have been, what we have learned and where we are going. Sacred Heart Catholic School is accredited by MNSAA (Minnesota Nonpublic School Accreditation Association). Our current strategic plan will expire in 2017, so now we begin the process of completing a Self Study report and new strategic plan for the years 2018-2024. I hope this Annual Report will give you a snapshot of our past year and a glimpse of what is to come. We are proud of our teachers for completing their STEM certificate through St. Catherine’s University. We thank the teachers for the extra time they put in above and beyond their normal teaching duties. Over the last two years, our teachers studied and learned together to further their knowledge of best practices in teaching and learning. What a gift we have been given. Here is a short list of learning experiences from this year: ! STARBASE (gr. 4/5) -This 5 day camp puts STEM in students’ hands by providing engaging activities rooted in science, technology, math and engineering. ! STEMLink (gr. 5/6) - Students participated in three interactive sessions with professionals from the fields of biology, physics, math, cybersecurity, and computer science.
