Meeting Minutes - August 29, 2005
Welcome back!
A new year and there is so much to look forward to. The Parent Associate of Legacy and Sunshine Schools (PALSS) wll be starting off the year with the Annual Ice Cream Social and will continue wih the crowd favorits like Snow Day. We have attached all the PALSS events and dates to mark your calendar so you won't miss out on the fun.
PALSS is a group that is truly dedicated to make Legacy and it's students the best they can be. Each meeting we brainstorm on how to get things done and how to do it better and better each year. YOUR help is always needed and appreciated. We are trying to make the 2005-06 school year pleasing to the parents of Legacy as well as the staff and students. Last year it was decide to have the PALSS fundraising cut to three events: Entertainment Books, Jog-a-Thon and the 2nd Annual Legacy Gala/Auction. We heard the cries of, "Give me a break! I do not want to sell another thing!" Hopefully, this year will make you smile as we do some fundraising and continue to encourage involvement in charities and social events that build a sense of community at Legacy.
Please not that PALSS meetings are every other month this year and they last one hour. Your ideas energy are so important. Come and join us this year!
Your contributions at work this summer
MPR/Stage
Thanks to a very significant donation from an anonymous Legacy family, as well as funds raised by PALSS, a major upgrade is underway! Headed by Corky Lee, there is a new professional stage, sound and lighting system being installed in the MPR, which will enhance every performance, production and presentation tremendously.
Legacy Library
Thank you to the Nunez family for their very generous donation to our Library. The money was used to purchase three new computer systems for the Accelerated Reading Program as well as new books, quizzes and incentives for the kids.
Legacy Living Lab
During the summer a new garden are was installed near the chicken coop. This space has aptly been named the "Legacy Living Lab". Your young scientists will now be able to expand their knowledge into the world of composting, germiniation, vegetable growth and so much more!
Christmas in August
On the Monday the teaching staff returned to Legacy to prepare their classrooms for your children, they were surprised to find that Santa had made a visit! PALSS provided each classroom with approximately $250 in resources that will enhance each room and enrichement program. They were also treated to a beautiful breakfast while they searched the piles of gifts for their name.
