The Prendergast Dad’s club had its first meeting last night. We had about 30 fathers/uncles/grandfathers that attended. Below are the topics which were covered:
· Volunteering – Dads will continue to volunteer in the school. They will get their picture taken first thing and then spend the first and last hour of the day in their child’s class and then help other classes and the café. They can read with children, assist with an activity, or anything else
· Haunted Hallways – Dad’s want to have a fundraiser on Friday, October 28th in which afterschool on Friday we decorate the hallways and a few classrooms to make a haunted house in the school. We would charge a nominal fee for admission. We would love some volunteers to assist in decorating.
· Taekwondo – World Champion Taekwondo will allow children to attend the lesson twice a week for 6 weeks and get a uniform for only $40. The best part is that the school will get the entire $40. This is still pending approval, but seems like a great program for the students and the school.
· Students in Need – teachers will let us know if a student is consistently out of uniform due to financial constraints. We will provide uniform items.
· Other request for funding – Teachers will request any other funding that they may need
