Please provide input and corrections in the comments. I will update. Sharon Meeting #1 minutes 2 .Playground structures for Primary playground. Current equipment is cracked and damaged from use and weather. Jane (R) thinks it might be OK to use for the next few months. 3. Montessori Materials - math manipulatives. This might be a good candidate for matching funds and Timken was noted as a good candidate for this item. Timken FDN.is very interested in engineering subjects. Foundations interested in curriculum development would be great to approach, too. 4 Landscaping: front of building. Another candidate for foundations that match funds. The Friends of PCMS have tried to recruit local landscaping companies directly. 5. Library: books, furniture. It was mentioned that Hosner Carpet has replaced carpet in a school each year plus bought some books. My question here is does equipment mean computers, too? 6. Art Specialists. Is this a continuation or addition to the Ohio Art Council projects? Paula and Karyn are passionate on this subject (especially music). 7. Teacher Resource Area. More discussion needed here. Do we need input from the teachers? The staff should define what they would like in a resource area. It was noted that all Grant submissions have to be cleared through the oversight committee. A one-page summary would be sufficient for Jane (R) to take to the oversight committee. Next meeting Nov. 4th, 12:30 10:04:57 PM |

Karyn's reply to my question concerning her Mockingbird submission and Peter's and the Mockingbird response. Sharon
mockingbird only replies to people who are invited to submit a full proposal. they are a completely volunteer organization, so i understand the time contraints of going over everyone's letters. i was just thrilled that they sent me a note saying that they had recieved my email! so, i know they got it and we didn't make the cut. also, they don't except snail mail. peter was in korea doing a montessori educators' conference and was having computer troubles so he didn't get my email until it was too late. i'd like to save him for reading final drafts--don't want to wear out my welcome, or so to speak...
we can reapply in january, if we can come up with a good music project to fund...
