Overall, the school has raised $119,367 or 40% of the total fundraising goal of $300,000 for the school year.
II. General Development Committee Priorities
A.
GLOBE Trot
The committee discussed plans for the GLOBE Trot event that is tomorrow. The topics that were discussed included the total raised and participation rate to date, a budget update, the event schedule, volunteer logistics, prizes and issues with Dojiggy. The group also discussed how we can make improvements next year to keep DEI concerns in mind and still achieve our goal and focus on participation vs. amount raised. L. Norton and M. Gibson suggested that we ask donors to donate to a pool to the class and then those donations go towards each child in the class to support participation while keeping the anonymity of students and families who are not able to directly give to the fundraiser. L. Ferro said we will have a post event meeting and some surveys to review these ideas and make changes for next year. M. Brown asked about how we can differentiate students who are on the no photo list.
