School Advisory Committee Meeting dates are listed on the School Calendar and are subject to change.
September 20, 2007
The St. Bernard School Advisory Committee (SAC) held its first meeting of the 2007-2008 school year on Thursday, September 20, 2007. The advisory committee met in executive session at 6:30pm and then in open session at 7:30 pm. Attending the meeting were members: Quintin Kittle, Bob Schilken, Scott Potter, Eileen Stewart, Barbara Driscoll, Nancy Mallon, Stephanie Lackner, Thurman Gardner, and Jeff Worden. Also attending were Mr. Wagner and Mrs. Ernst.
1. Mr. Wagner began the meeting with an opening prayer.
2. Quintin Kittle opened the meeting with a welcome to those attending and to the new members of the committee.
3. Committee Reports
Marketing: Eileen Stewart gave an overview of the marketing plan for the upcoming year, focusing on generating more visibility of the school through news items, school merchandise and public appearances, including the Halloween parade and the pre-school night at Mt. Lebanon Library. The sale of merchandise is intended to promote the school to the community. Pricing will be developed to cover the cost of the items, and is not intended to function as a fund-raiser. A detailed marketing plan is available. Anyone interested in assisting with marketing activities should contact Eileen.
Fundraising: Bob Schilken provided an update on Apple Pie Week, which will begin on October 29 and conclude on November 5, on behalf of coordinator Dolores Schilken. Parents day will take place on Saturday, Nov. 3. Donations of flour, sugar and Crisco will be encouraged within the school and parish. Donations of daily breakfast and lunch will also be coordinated through school parents. The goal is to make 2000 pies this year.
Shop for Education: Stephanie Lackner reported that the program continues this year under the leadership of Tara Dandrea and Chris McLane.
4. Principal’s Report
Mr. Wagner reported that he was pleased with Meet the Teacher night, and noted that there will be a few changes next year. He will alter the schedule so that parents of 6th, 7th, and 8th graders will be able to meet with all of the teachers from those grades. Mr. Wagner also discussed his ongoing efforts at developing a food allergy policy in conjunction with state wellness initiatives, including consultation with the school nurse from the Mt. Lebanon School District.
5. Questions and Comments:
A parent raised a question concerning the use of library books for reading assignments versus the need to go to the public library to find books. Mr. Wagner suggested he would require additional information regarding this issue.
6. The meeting was closed by Quintin Kittle
7. The next meeting will be held on November 29, 2007.
