Principal’s Report:
Mrs. Marozick’s surgery is scheduled for March 4th. Mrs. Camille Bovee will serve as her long-term substitute.
Congregational offerings are low, so the budget is extremely tight and may need to be reworked.
Treasurer’s Report: balance of $10513.65 on hand.
Scrip Report: (Jenny Patten, Donna Ziegler, and Sherri Bartels) Profit this school year of $7458.02 with a net after repaying loan of $3875.02. Only 1 loan repayment remains and then Woodman’s proceeds will be all profit.
Business:
Suzi reported that the Thrivent match for items sold in the Craft and Bake Sale was higher than previously reported ($23.50). After resubmitting we received a match of $147.
Mr. Ristow requested no arrangements be made regarding his departure at the end of the year and also that no money or gifts be given to him.
Holiday Shower update: Response was amazing. The residents of the Elizabeth House were overwhelmed by the generosity shown. Suggested that next year, we do the Elizabeth House again around Christmas and do the Ronald McDonald house food drive later in the spring.
