Thumser’s 19th hole: they will continue to

with 10% of sales and 100% of mini golf going back to
the PTO. Notes will need to go home to remind families
of this.
B.
Wendys: Discussed options for themes during monthly
Wendy’s nights. Decided on having trying to have
members of the high school football, basketball, and
volleyball teams come for a “Warrior Night”, as well as
have a Halloween theme in Oct. and a Christmas caroling
night in December. We will need workers to sign up for
shifts during the 5-7 block. Sara Feyen has a list of
workers.

Carlos O’Kelly’s: Bryan Reisen worked with Carlos
O’Kelly’s to secure coupon sheets for Carlos and
Applebees. Sheets are $10 with 100% of that money going
to the PTO. Coupons were sold at the open house and
will also be sold at the first home football game if
approved by Mr. Herbst. Sara Feyen and Amy Reisen will
work the table at the game if approved. Laurie Miller
will develop order forms to send home to students.
F.
Mr.
Z’s: Original kick-off date was 9/2, however this is
picture day so Sara Feyen will contact the company
regarding changing this date. Stacey Duster will
represent the PTO at the kickoff if it occurs on a day
she is in the district. End date is 9/16 with forms
needing to be in by 9/23. Delivery date is 10/13.
Laurie Miller and Stacey Oberman will be here when the
truck comes. Mrs. Till approved asking some of the
older students (possibly 6th graders) to help
unload the truck as they did last year. Stacey will
work 12:30-4:00 and Sara Feyen, Jen Montag, and Sarah
Delaney will be there from 4:00-6:00. Pass out time is
from 2:45 to 5:30. One of the “rewards” students can
earn is duct tape to tape a staff member to the wall.
Mrs. Till will ask for staff volunteers. Mrs. Till also
discussed “penny wars” being a successful fundraising
tool in her previous school.
G.
Warrior orders: Members again discussed the possibility
of selling items that are not available through other
organizations such as beach towels, cozies, umbrellas,
water bottles, hats, pens… Discussed doing this in the
spring and having some samples at spring conferences
with order forms. Will check to make sure there is no
overlap with booster club items. Will discuss this
again in October after Mr. Z”s is finished.
V.
New/Old business:
