Handball Mural

In collaboration with CIPCF, it was underlined that there was a need for a photography backdrop.

​

Handball Mural

Goals:

Efficiency: �- should cost 1-2 weekends�<$300 for both sides

Speed:�-completed before mid/late February in time for the event

Usability:�- Design should be primarily on the top of the court, so handball can still be played there

This expedited project will solve more than one problem, and is a self contained contribution towards the Lunar New Year event�

Extra Notes:

Fun Run 2024 Requirements

• Event should be set in mid/late September
• 2 week lead up to the event should be planned in, with daily updates to the donators
• Incentivization for donors should be planned ahead of time, ideally with daily drops and/or reminders of what group incentives are being worked toward
• Respect the teachers’ time and have them on board with the scheduling and execution
• Main organizer or #2 needs to be on site on the day of the event
• Adjust the flow of the run to help out the the TK/K students ( 4 corner lap counting stations)
• Have a T Shirt Strategy: affordable and profitable shirts that are passed out in time for the run, encourage re-use of shirts, etc
• Be positive. There needs to be a spirit of moving forward and “Building a Better Bringhurst”

PTO Info: What we do

• Hear educational/supply needs
• Raise much-needed money for Bringhurst
• Share announcements and resources from the school / community
• Last year: $30K to Classrooms (Previous Year’s Fun Run , Teachers Appreciation Week, Appreciation Luncheon, Back to School Night Food Trucks, SBAC Fees

Mascot Costume

Begin production sketches and concept work towards a mascot in this style (Face on midsection instead of character face lining up with performer head)

Build something robust enough to be used for at least 5 years that is warm and cute, a little bit generalized and basic, but can be used for boosting school spirit

Work backward from a day in April/May to plan:

• A student voting opportunity
• Debut at a school event / end of school year assembly
