PTA BOARD MEETING NOTES
President Notes: We are excited to be continuing the momentum from the first half of the school year! Thank you to everyone who participated in our Giving Tree over the holidays. Many needs for classrooms were filled. ACE faculty is SO appreciative. The school is also hosting a strawberry fundraiser starting Monday January 14th until February 1st. These strawberries come from Florida and are delivered to the school within a day or two of being picked so you can't get much fresher than that! Even better, they are delicious!! We hope you will consider supporting ACE by purchasing a flat of them. Delivery of strawberries is estimated to be between February 15th and March 15th at the moment. This window is relatively large due to the fact that weather plays a role in their growing season but as soon as we know more we will update.
Our PTA's next fundraising window opens on January 31st and Lifetouch Yearbooks and ACE Spirit Gear will be going on sale. In February we have many different options for Restaurant Spirit Nights and we hope you can choose one or two to attend. Our PTA gets a portion of sales from each spirit night. We love nights we don't have to worry about cooking or cleaning up! Just make sure you take your flyer!
We are also looking forward to the very fun Penny War the week of February 19th. Pennies and dollar bills count toward class totals while silver change (nickels, dimes, quarters) sabotage grade totals. This is one the kids love!
Our PTA is also working on providing some fun new outdoor equipment to be used during PE and recess. We are also working on getting the ADA parking up by the new playground and resurfacing the basketball court in the upper field. If you know anyone that might be willing to help us with any of these projects please reach out. We are always looking at ways to make our dollars stretch without loosing quality.
Our PTA Board would love to have some new parents, grandparents, or guardians join us! Over half of our board will be moving on to middle school after next school year (2019/20) and we would ideally like to have some replacements that our current board can help train over the next year and a half. Without a full board many of the fun events and school programs will be affected. If you have ANY interest in learning about what we do, PLEASE reach out! We need YOU! We do host OPEN PTA Board meetings so if you are interested in joining, or just want to come see a behind the scenes look at what goes on, we would love to have you!

Event Coordinator: We are very excited to announce that the much anticipated Father Daughter Dance will be February 8th from 6:30-8:00 PM in the cafeteria. There will be no cover charge this year so if you haven't been able to attend, this is the year to do it! All male role models are welcome to bring their student. We do ask that ONLY ACE students participate. We will also be collecting any outgrown dresses to be able to provide students that may not be able to get one, so if you have any dresses that you would like to donate please contact Kira at the front office, or Katie King. We will also need volunteers to help decorate and set up, serve during the dance, and help clean up after the dance. We also need volunteers to provide cookies, cupcakes, and other snack food. Our PTA does have some Otis Spunkemeyer frozen cookie dough to provide to some parents if you want to help by baking that. If you are interested in volunteering for any of the dance needs, please reach out to Katie King at kking0412@epbfi.com
Outside Fundraising: We participate in Coke Rewards, Food City School Bucks, and Box Tops for Education. If you shop at Food City, please link your ValuCard to Alpine Crest. Our PTA earns one point for every dollar spent when you shop at Food City, and they in turn give us a check! Groceries and giving back! Win Win! We also earned over $400 from Food City School Bucks program! Thank you Food City!
Our next Box Tops deadline is fast approaching. We recently sent home a Box Tops flyer to make this turn in easy. Just remember to have your child's name on it and classroom so they get credit for the end of year pizza party. The next deadline is February 22nd.
Volunteer Coordinator: We have some amazing volunteers here at ACE! With your help we logged over 700 hours towards our school last year. Even if you aren't a PTA member you can add your volunteer hours to our log! There is a black box on the left side of the main desk in the lobby. There are cards inside that parents/guardians/grandparents can sign in at each time they come to help at the school. Helping in the classroom? That counts too! We have our 2 Hour Tiger Power Pledge going again this year and we hope you'll join us by committing to volunteer at least two hours throughout this school year. Volunteer hours need to be submitted and turned in by February 28th. This allows us to maintain our requirements for our non-profit status. We hope you will help by adding your school volunteer hours to the log.
Hospitality: Our PTA has been providing teacher appreciation this year and December we also provided a special lunch for our wonderful faculty. We also help coordinate a monthly dessert to help celebrate faculty birthdays. We have set up the Take Them A Meal schedule for that to help make it easy for YOU to help us support our amazing educators. This is a once a month volunteer opportunity and requires only one commitment for the year per family.
