1.       Cyber bullying Program - the program went well, link will be put on the website, discussed possibly opening up the program next year to: the parish, Infant Jesus, and Nashua Catholic for a larger audience, talked about doing a survey to get an attendance commitment from parents before we book this program again, we also talked about the John Walsh/stranger danger DVDs being available for viewing

2.       Bulletin Board - “Get Moving St. Chris” themed board is complete - thanks to Jen and Monique!  We are looking for another theme for the holidays, perhaps “Healthy Holidays.”  We are always looking for help on the bulletin boards.

3.       Family Book Bags - we reviewed the contents of the bags (books, recipes, etc.)  There will be an incentive for bring the bag back after 2-3 days.

4.       Cooking class for Parents/Girls Night Out - Hollis chef Liz Barbour from the Creative Chef can come do a whole foods/healthy eating cooking program for up to 35 people for a cost of $350 for two courses, 1-2 hour program possibly in March (8^th?), Katie offered to work on a flier, teachers will be invited as guests

5.       Fun Run/Walk - Fri., May 27^th - 3^rd annual walk/run, grades will be split up for their race, stations will be set up for different vendors, Sue will investigate medals, perhaps a traveling trophy to visit the different classrooms, Marta will investigate a give-away item for each participant.

Starting in April we will do Walk NH again.  This is a challenge to all students to log miles they walk the length and width of NH.  See the Walk NH website for ideas on incorporating walks into your child’s life.  Each classroom will get a map again.  Maybe incorporate a drawing for largest number of classroom miles logged.

*Next meeting is January 11, 2011, 2pm, Teacher’s Lounge
