Presidents’ Report: Keri Williams - As part of our Trivia Night earnings, we are donating $3,000 to the library.  We used the TN fundraiser as a way to still provide funds to the library since ELA book sales were put on pause.  Dr. Lisa Stolper would like for us to transfer the money with the purchases being made in the fall of 25-26 school year.

Please respond back to Kari with your vote in her email:

Yes—Move $3,000 to LKM with purchases being made in the fall of 25-26

No—Hold the funds in the PTO account until the purchases are made in the fall of 25-26
