Mrs. Michael, Mrs. Musselman and Mrs. Dick entered their name in the $100 Classroom Drawing for the semester for attending the March meeting.

Mrs. Michael noted that the paper slicer on the back of the Laminator was broken. Maintenance will look at it first to see if they can fix it. If it can’t be fixed by maintenance then we will have to call the company. The warranty has already expired so it will cost to be fixed.

Jenni Miller brought in a variety of donations that she has received from various businesses. Duke Kisner brought in a donation of toothbrushes for prizes.
