Items for Discussion

Summary:

  • Reviewed last meetings notes and actions (stored at Board on Track)
  • Welcomed PTSO representative Karen Southern
  • Agreed on Committee Fundraising for Goals  2024-2025
  • Other priorities or goals of the committee need to be discussed next month’s meeting

 

Fundraising Goals:

Committee should work on fundraising for:

  1. Teacher Development 
  2. Academic Experiences (ie. Field study)
  3. Capital Development (Gym + Classrooms) – this is a multi-year project

 

ACTIONS:

  • Messaging needs to be carved out so that we can start fundraising:
    • Akiba to review messaging document created by Abid (file attached).
    • Akiba to meet with the school engagement team. 
    • Map out what we want to communicate, what do organizations get from RTHS.
    • This needs to be done before next month’s committee meeting. 
  • Discussed ways to build partnerships with organizations around RTP
    • To build partnerships with Parents and organizations, we can leverage the current parents, board members, and staff to get to companies.
    • WE could also request a list of RTP organizations and send target e-mails to them. 
    • Angelina is an RTHS resource who could help with that.
    • We’ll continue these discussions in the next committee meeting.
