Dear College Hillers,I would like to express my sincere thank you for allowing me to be your PTO President for the last 2 1/2 years. My experience at College Hill has been a unique one filled with love and memories that will last a lifetime. I have enjoyed being involved with Fall Festivals, Holiday Gift Shops, Fundraisers, Teacher Appreciations, Helping Hands, Spring Dances, PTO Meetings, and many other events. But my favorite thing I will treasure is all of the time spent with all of you! With your children, with all of the memories. Tonight, at our last PTO meeting, I was presented with another awesome memory. I received thank you cards from every child at College Hill. HOW AWESOME IT THAT?! I am so lucky to have all of these cards for years to come. Contrary to what one young student wrote, 'thank you Ms. Massey for wasting your time up here', I was definitely not wasting my time. I was forming bonds and friendships that will last a long time.As I end this year I would like to commend everyone of you for all of the hard work you have done at College Hill. I applaud each one of you for taking time out of your very hectic schedule to volunteer at College Hill. Families today are not the normal 'one' unit family. Most families have sports, music, art, doctor visits, sometimes taking care of grandparents or grandchildren which leaves absolutely no spare time. But yet, you each salvage time to spend at College Hill. Volunteering comes in all shapes and sizes, but always has the same outcome...volunteering helps our children. In the last three years our parent involvement has skyrocketed. Because of you we were able to staff all of our events. Because of you our children had fun at each event. Because of you our Teachers were pampered. Because of you our children have fun parties. Because of you our children get extra help in reading and writing. Because of you our Teachers feel supported to teach our children. Because of you our tests scores continue to soar. Because of you our children succeed. Thank you each for all that you do. And remember to keep volunteering, because College Hill needs you, the Teachers need you, but most importantly...your child needs you.Please help me welcome the PTO Officers for the 2008-2009 year. Please continue your support to this great group of Parents that work very hard, volunteering, for you and your children.PTO OFFICERS 2008-2009PresidentCarri SiebenmarkVice-PresidentDenah RuskSecretarySuzanne TobiasTreasurerDebbie RhinesmithFall Festival CoordinatorDana CookFundraising CoordinatorRachelle LynnRoom Parent CoordinatorCamille SnyderSmall Events CoordinatorJennifer LucianSpring Family Event CoordintorDana CookStaff Social CoordinatorsNora McCollum & Sydney RamirezVolunteer CoordinatorsRaven Alexander & Nora McCollumHave a great day!

Yearbooks are done. You can still order one, for $12.
Spirit Wear update. Also done and sold. Need someone to sell them at the hoedown. Sydney Ramirez and Karla Scholfield say they will help.
Hats On Day raised $111.15, up from only $70 last year. Proceeds go to kids with cancer.
Pizza Night – So far no word from either Cici's or Il Vicino about what we made.
All Star Sports Night is May 2, 6 to 9 p.m. Tickets are $12 in advance, $13 at the door, $2 for parents who don't want to ride. Debbie will stop selling tickets at 8:30 p.m. PTO makes $2 from each ticket. We made $223 last year.
Spring fundraiser did not bring in as much revenue as last spring. A little under $4,000 total. Spring fundraisers tend not to do as well as fall. Products are coming in Tuesday, April 22. Jill will bring the stuff to teachers, already packed up and labeled. Parents with issues, contact Jill. ;-)
Cougar Club is collecting "Pennies for Patients," a fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
School also is selling yo-yos as part of the Ned (??) assembly. If a school agrees to sell yo-yos, the assembly is free. When you get to a certain amount, you make profit. This was arranged by the P.E. department.
There will be a school store on Friday mornings in the front hall, selling pencils, paper and other such items. Students will help out, which will help them learn mathematical computation, making change, etc.
Hoedown is Friday. Our cost for hamburger is 54 cents; chips, 20 cents; pop, 25 cents. We'll also have water bottles for $1, baked beans, potato salad, etc.
Secretaries Day is April 23. Want to lavish Raven and Diane with lots of stuff. Rachelle will get gift certificates to Bella Donna. Want to do something else to go along with that… Decided on Warren Theater gift certificates and Monica's bundt cakes.
Field Day is May 9. Ms. McConnell is looking for volunteers. There's a sign-up sheet going out with students. Shifts start at 9:30 a.m. Also looking for people to fill water balloons. Someone asked if we could get volunteers from East High, perhaps students needing community service hours?? PTO has donated $500 to field day for general expenses.
Volunteer appreciation luncheon is same day as Field Day. Everyone welcome.
Need nominations for PTO officers. Debbie Rhinesmith has agreed to be treasurer. Carri Siebenmark will entertain the idea of president. Suzanne says she could do secretary again. If you have any other ideas/nominations, see Jill Massey.
Retirements – Velma Jump is retiring this year. Jo Baker is going to South High. Karla Scholfield will be gone next year on a leave of absence. Want to do something special for these teachers. Considering garden stuff for Jo.
We're still doing well budgetwise. If everything goes as planned, we should have about $2,000 left in account at the end of the year. Jill suggested a budget meeting sometime during the summer, where folks can share their thoughts about fundraisers, where money goes, etc.
Principal's report: Kathy Stybr says the year has gone incredibly fast. "As I reflect back on just about a year ago, I can't thank this group enough for their support of this building. That's what makes College Hill the way it is." Going to miss Jill and Bob. Thanks to everyone for their support of kids and staff.
Camille Snyder (room parent coordinator) said she hasn't heard much feedback about Valentine's Day parties, so she's assuming everything went OK. She will stay on as room parent coordinator if no one else wants it. J Kathy noted that we can use the new ParentLink system to make calls to parents to remind them of special days, like class parties. Just need to be somewhat selective about it.
Teacher Appreciation Week: Planning a lunch for teachers from Bella Luna. Normally $12/person, he's giving it to us for $10. Total will be about $450. Carri will check with Creative Catering and Sam's for desserts. Roughly $100 for that. Jill mentioned that PTO also puts surprises in teachers' boxes throughout the week. Some options: chocolate bars, water bottles, pudding (thanks for "pudding" up with our kids), M&Ms, Hershey Hugs and Kisses, nuts, quotes and notes of thanks from parents and kids. We also have some Tide boxes… could maybe think of some witty saying to go along with those??
Decorating for Teacher Appreciation Week will be Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m. Will decorate with a "star" theme… red carpet, stars, etc.
Foot massages for teachers, from Camille, will be 9 to 11:30 a.m. Wednesday; 9 a.m. to 1:10 p.m. Thursday. 20 minutes each. Parent volunteers will supervise classes.
Meeting adjourned at 8:25 p.m. Next meeting is May 13.

Minutes to February 19th, 2008 PTO Meeting
Here are the minutes from last week's PTO
meeting. Let me know if there are any questions. Thanks!
College Hill PTO
Feb. 19, 2008
OLD BUSINESS
Conference meals: Thanks again to Carri Siebenmark and others for providing
food to teachers during conferences. There was plenty of everything. The baked
potatoes with chili were a big hit, as was the broccoli cheese soup.
Cookbook update: We still don't know how many cookbooks we've sold in all. We
ordered 350. Sold at least 100. From now on, they will be available at every
school PTO event.
Book Fair: Thanks to everyone who worked. Don't have final numbers yet, but
there's been one deposit for $862, and at least $900 in credit card sales.
This time we were able to give extra book credits to teachers ($20 each). That
was the result of Jill Massey attending special Scholastic workshops to get
extra credit.
4th & 5th grade money: PTO is giving $300 to the fourth-grade class for
its campout, and $300 to fifth-graders for their trip to K.C.
Nestle Pure Life GoPlay program: Nora not present to give update. Keep
collecting those water bottle labels. School gets money for field trips,
sports equipment, etc.
Sound systems: New sound systems have been installed and should be operational
in all K-2 classrooms. Teachers report that they like them so far. Bob Leake
was able to talk the company into giving us one free sound system (valued at
close to $1,000).
NEW BUSINESS
Pizza Night/All Star Sports/BoxTops: We will try to have All-Star Sports night
on May 2. Time is 6:30 to 10 p.m. However, because of some confusion at the
gate last time, we should consider having someone man the gate only until 8:30
or so (otherwise, people could buy tickets late and not be aware they can only
stay for one hour).
Debbie Rhinesmith says BoxTop collections are a little slow. Wondered if we
should have an additional incentive or competition among classrooms. There was
some discussion about being careful not to pile too much on teachers as we get
closer to assessment time. Group decided to just remind parents to bring in
BoxTops.
Dental Day scheduled for 9:10 a.m. to noon Friday, Feb. 22
Helping Hands: Thanks for volunteers' continued participation. There was some
confusion several weeks ago, when a volunteer took time off work for Helping
Hands, and when she got to school, the folder was already done. Teachers have
agreed that if they have someone coming in at a designated time, they will
keep that work in their rooms or in their cubby. Helping Hands work is
intended to be done as quickly as possible, by whoever comes to school to
help. Suzanne Tobias suggested having a sign on the Helping Hands box that
says "If this box is empty, here are five other ways you can help!!…"
Then direct people to Mr. Lenoch in the library, etc… Jill said she
would put something like that on there.
Dr. Seuss Night: Passed around volunteer sheet with slots to sign up. Voted to
clarify PTO's contribution to the event. Group voted to contribute $500. We
are also donating books (one for each child), which are coming from book
credits we have through Scholastic.
Dr. Seuss DVD: An unnamed parent purchased a Dr. Seuss DVD for the school and
turned in a receipt in order to be reimbursed. Group voted to not reimburse
the parent, because it was an unsolicited donation, not a pre-authorized PTO
purchase. Jill will let Mr. Lenoch know that we would be happy to provide the
parent with a tax receipt.
Spirit Week was postponed from its originally scheduled week in February
because of District Common Assessments being given that week. New dates are
April 14-18, the week leading up to the spring Hoedown event. Friday will be
"Cowboy/Cowgirl Day" in honor of the event.
Yearbook and Spirit Wear update: Orders are due this week. Yearbooks are $12
each.
Spring fundraiser: We will be selling food items, flower bulbs and candles for
spring fundraiser. Kickoff tentatively scheduled for Thursday, March 13, at
3:30 p.m. Forms will be due back March 27.
Spring dance: The hoedown will be Friday, April 18. Kathy will contact Larry
Pearlman to see if he's available to D.J. Group decided the main food item
will be sub sandwiches (similar to last year's luau). And perhaps rootbeer/sasparilla??
Committee will meet soon to finalize details for the event.
PTO meeting rescheduled: Since normal schedule would require meeting during
spring break, meeting was rescheduled to March 25.
Principal's report: College Hill is in the top five "Best Places to
Work" by the Wichita Business Journal. Staff did a survey that spoke to a
number of issues ranging from loyalty to support, etc. Other schools in the
top five are Cessna, Horace Mann, Lawrence and the Instructional Technology
Dept.
Treasurer's report: Bob says we paid $2,087 for a new copier for the staff,
and $515 for the fence by the First Street entrance.
Meeting adjourned at 8:25 p.m. Next meeting is March 25.
Update from PTO President
Minutes to January 20 PTO Meeting
Hello all,
KIDS' GIFTS – PTO contributed money for oranges and sacks for the students' gifts, which they got the last day before break. Amanda, Jill and Nora were here until 8 p.m. making the snowman sacks. Kids really enjoyed them.
READING TIMERS – We have several colors, being sold for $8.95 each during assessment night.
SPIRIT WEAR – There was a huge order, definitely more than we've ever had. Several people got wrong sizes, and we're still trying to straighten that out. PTO made about $200 so far. Placing another order Feb. 22. Deadline for the orders will be Feb. 19. This will be the last order for the year.
COOKBOOKS – Haven't yet determined how many were sold. Know it's over 100. The last day of Holiday Gift Shop, Jill had some money stolen from her purse, including $60 cash and three checks, some of it for cookbooks. Police report was filed.
READING ASSESSMENT NIGHT – It's scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 22. Great stuff for third- through fifth-graders and their parents, ideas for reading assessments and things to do at home. Jamie Hutchinson is organizing activities. Carri and Monica will go to Parent-Teacher Resource for sight word activity placemats. Suzanne will call Watermark and other local businesses to ask about gift certificates or other treats for door prizes.
BOXTOPS – We got a check for $520.40 for BoxTops for Education. Debbie Rhinesmith is having another contest, with a goal of $500. Deadline is Feb. 25.
PIZZA NIGHT – Families can now go to either CiCi's or Il Vicino the fourth Tuesday of the month. Tell them you're from College Hill, and we'll get a percentage of sales.
ALL-STAR SPORTS NIGHT – Start thinking about a date for the spring. We'll pick one next meeting.
BOOK FAIR – Book fair is Feb. 11-14, during conference week, in the library. Setup begins Feb. 8 at 3 p.m. Theme is "Take a Reading Road Trip." We need old Matchbox or Hot Wheels cars, maps and old-fashioned suitcases for decorations. See Nora if you have donations or other ideas for contests. Also need people to help work the fair – before school, 8:30-9:30 a.m. and after school, 1:30-7:30 p.m.; closing 4 p.m. Thursday.
CONFERENCE MEALS – We'll be doing soup and bread one day and baked potato bar w/chili and other fixings the other day. (We can possibly get potatoes from School Service Center.) Sign up w/Carri.
PICTURE DAY – Scheduled for Feb. 1.
DENTAL DAY – Scheduled for Feb. 11. Monica and Raven will be scheduling volunteers for both events.
DR.
SEUSS FAMILY READING NIGHT – Thursday, March 6. This will go along with a
week of reading activities, spearheaded by Mr. Lenoch, our librarian. Need
PTO contributions for prizes (books) and an end-of-the-week celebration with
cupcakes. Jill said we have $500 to contribute a book for every child. Also
need volunteers to help with activities. There was some discussion about
Tara Garrison dressing as the Mayor of Whoville. Stay tuned for more info.
HOMELAND
CARD – Monica says Dillons bought Homeland, and it's possible the card
program will be discontinued.
SPIRIT
DAY – Jill said she's gotten some questions from kids about the status of
Spirit Fridays and the Spirit Stick. Kathy said we were waiting for the
T-shirt order to come in, but the tradition is continuing. Last week's
winners were announced Monday.
SPIRIT
WEEK – Just a time to have fun and dress crazy, scheduled for Feb. 4-8.
Suzanne will come up with the lineup. Suggestions: 50s/sock hop day; hippie
day; pajama day; crazy hair day; job day.
FOURTH/FIFTH-GRADE
FUNDRAISERS – Fourth-graders plan to sell rosebud kisses and have a math-athon
and possibly candy sales to raise money for the campout in May.
Fifth-graders are going on a trip to K.C. plus having the Growing On
breakfast at school and will need about $4,000. They've got several
fundraisers planned as well. Group voted to contribute $600 to the efforts
-- $300 each to 4th and 5th grades.
YEARBOOK
– Flyers will go home next Tuesday. Orders will be due the second week of
February. Yearbooks are $12 each, same as last year. Start collecting (or
taking) those snapshots. We'll have to have them in hand by the end of
March.
SPRING
DANCE – Group collectively decided to have a Hoedown on Friday, April 18.
Yee-haw! Get those boots and bandanas ready. More later…
WATER
LABELS – Nestle Pure Life has a rewards program for collecting labels from
their water bottles. For more info, go to goplaylabels.com.
PRINCIPAL'S
REPORT – Kathy thanked PTO for the wonderful lunch before holiday break.
Lots going on at the district level that will affect schools, including
busing and facilities planning. She says her biggest priority is getting a
FEMA safe room for the school, a large multipurpose room that would also
serve as a shelter in severe weather. Kathy has also made progress toward
getting our concrete walls painted (yay!). Should be done over the summer. (Yay
again! Pardon the editorial comment…) Asked about enrollment projections
if busing were to end, she said word from the district is that we could get
as many as 40 more students, so no huge spike.
Meeting
adjourned at 8:25. p.m. Next meeting is Feb. 19.
Happy New Year College Hillers!!!!
COLLEGE HILL ELEMENTARY PTO
Sept. 18, 2007
In attendance (may be incomplete): Jill Massey, Nora McCollum, Dana Cook, Carri Siebenmark, Sherri Fisher, Mindy Brennan, Angela Bateman, Meghan Smith, Amy Mitchell, Bob Leake, Colleen Schmidt, Jennifer Lucian, Tracey Rodriguez, Kathy Stybr, Denah Rusk, Karla Scholfield, Camille Snyder, Debbie Rhinesmith, Monica Arnold, Suzanne Tobias.
OLD BUSINESS:
Requests from staff (dogtags, etc.): We’ve moved ahead with the attendance dogtag program. Children getting perfect attendance each month (starting with September) will get a dogtag. This means no absences or tardies.
Librarian doesn’t want the ABC rug anymore. Now he would like to have a series of books on global warming, environmental concerns, etc. Wants multiple copies for fourth and fifth-graders. Vote to approve books in lieu of rug (for same cost).
Birthday board: Amanda Ferdin completed the birthday board near the school entrance. Thanks!
Helping Hands bin in office: The Helping Hands bin is working well and has been well-received by teachers. Anything teachers have that they need done (things cut, copied, laminated, etc.) can be picked up and completed by any volunteer. Any questions, please e-mail Jill.
Spirit wear: We’re hoping to have order forms for shirts and other spirit wear available by Fall Festival. Shirts will take two to three weeks to come in. We’re doing sweats, hoodies, zipper jackets, baseball T’s. Have to order a minimum of 24 items, but that’s all items combined.
NEW BUSINESS:
Cici’s Pizza/All-Star Sports/Boxtops: Debbie reports that we don’t know how we did for the Cici’s Pizza night yet (no check received). All-Star Sports event went well. About 90 people attended. PTO made about $225. Lots of parents said they were glad they only had to pay $2 to get in if they weren’t riding. For Boxtops, we have a contest between classrooms, ending at the end of October. So far the leader for the lower floor is Spratt, upper floor is Rodriguez. Reminder, though, that Boxtops are collected throughout the year, so keep bringing them in even after the contest is over.
Cookbook update: Sherri says the cookbook project is going well so far. We’re getting recipes (both in writing and online). We’ll try to sell ads to offset the cost. Going through the district print shop to get it printed and bound. Estimate is $3-$4 per book to have it printed and bound if we order 500 copies. We’re hoping to keep the price between $5 and $8 so kids could afford to buy it for parents and grandparents as holiday gifts. Having kids do artwork.
Homeland card: Last year we raised more than $800 from Homeland’s shopper program. Reminder for people to give cashier the College Hill code when they check out.
Entertainment books: We sold more than 500 books, and brought in a profit of $5,450.88. Thanks, everyone, for participating.
Money for staff: Because of the Entertainment book fundraiser success, we’re now able to give $3,150 to the staff to offset classroom setup costs. Fulltime teachers will get $100 to spend in their room however they choose; half-day teachers will get $50. Each teacher also got a complimentary Entertainment book from the company (no cost to PTO).
Fall fundraiser: The kickoff for the fall fundraiser (Sally Foster) is next Thursday. Items include giftwrap, cookie dough, etc. Packets will go home with students after an assembly.
Yearbook: Just like last year, we’ll be choosing the top five potential yearbook covers. Before leaving the meeting, check them out and mark your top five. Students will choose from those five to decide what the cover of the yearbook will be.
Fall Festival: The festival is Saturday, Oct. 6, from 1 to 4 p.m. A sign-up sheet is posted on the board near the school entrance. Sign up for shifts. We’ve got 12 commercial vendors so far (Avon, etc.). Everyone please plan to pitch in wherever/however needed.
Room Parent/Partners meeting: There will be a Room Parents meeting Sept. 24, after school meet-and-greet until 6 p.m. or so. Also before school Sept. 25, from 8:30 to 9:15, parents can come and pick up information, meet Camille (room parent coordinator).
Safety update/fence update: Safety concerns were brought up at the end of last year, regarding the ability of students to leave the playground area near the First Street entrance. Kathy Stybr reports that she checked into how much it would cost to erect another section of fence in that area. Cost (from district Shared Services) was estimated at $515.44. PTO voted to pay for the fence. Plan is to have it installed as soon as a nearby drain line is repaired.
Microsoft licensing: The district has a new special license agreement with Microsoft, under which students and staff get select software titles at discounts. See Kathy for a list, and let her know if you’re interested in purchasing.
Facilities master plan committee: Kathy reports that the school’s subcommittee on the Facilities Master Plan will be meeting shortly to discuss building needs. If you’re interested in serving, please speak up. We’ll be looking at College Hill’s priorities and submitting them to the feeder-pattern committee, then to the school board. Cindy Carnahan (area realtor) has agreed to serve. If you know of other community members, please let Kathy know.
Office copier: The big copier in the staff room recently hit 3.4 million copies. When it reaches 4 million, the district will no longer service the machine. Current price of a copier comparable to that one is $7,040, and the district will pay half. PTO voted to buy a new copier for the teacher workroom, but to hold off until after the fall fundraiser monies are collected. Estimated we will spend about $3,500.
Conference meals: Conferences are Oct. 17-19, and PTO traditionally provides dinner for teachers the first two (long) days. Carri Siebenmark has proposed soups for the first day, sloppy joes the second. Please sign up to contribute.
Book fair: Book Fair is the week of conferences. Monica Arnold may be calling you to help with a shift or two. f you help, you can pick out one book (or get $6.95 off the price) just for volunteering. Also you can donate $1 and your teacher gets that $1 to spend, plus Scholastic meets it. There will be a teachers’ wish list posted as well. Theme this time is "Blizzard," so we’ll have contests -- guess how many snowballs (cotton balls) in a jar, etc.
Red Ribbon Week: Holly is chairing Red Ribbon Week, Oct. 23-26. Stay tuned for more info.
Possible Reading Night: Proposed Reading Night for parents and kids Nov. 15. Talked about several possible activities (coming in pajamas and pillows, having guest readers, etc.). Intent is for parents and kids to have fun and to encourage reading at home.
More possible activities/fundraisers: Sherri Fisher noted that the Gamewright company (maker of card games and other activities) has a "Gamewright Game Night" program. Schools get 50% of proceeds from games sold during the event. Maybe something to consider in the slower months (winter/early-spring). Also, reading-timer bookmarks... Sell them at reading night? Check out mark-my-time.com for more info. No action taken.
Photos: Family photo night is Nov. 8, 6-9 p.m. in the library. School photos are Oct. 11.
MEETING ADJOURNED, 8:28 p.m. Next meeting will be Tuesday, Oct. 16.
