Paige Teusink reported that April fundraising numbers were up from the projected goal. We are currently at $133,438 and look like we will easily meet our $140,000 goal for the years. We also have seen record participation from parents and guardians, 74%, which is the highest rate seen at the school. This reflects the push to consolidate and clarify fundraising asks, which has been well received by the school. 

Ms. Teusink is planning to do some additional outreach to LYBUNT donors, and to increase the outreach to 2 pushes as they may have a better outcome.

Planning for the future of Wonderball. The committee recommends looking at moving away from hosting it at the Middle Campus because of the heavy lift for volunteers and staff, as well as the impact on the surrounding neighbors.

There were some specific ideas that might help as we continue to think through the event:

• Move the date back to early March
• Begin recruiting chairs over the summer so planning can begin in August
• Connect with the PTCA and see what role they could take as the volunteer arm of the school
  • Also figure out how to better engage and involve more of the parent/guardian community in volunteering
• Continue the focus on community building and inclusion and don't let the fundraising piece detract from that

Barrett Krise asked committee members to consider returning for next year. Pouya Dianat will chair.

As of now, planning for a June meeting, but there will not be a meeting in July.
