Approval of Minutes

At the start of each meeting in future, we need to approve the last meeting’s “Meeting Minutes.”

A member says: “I move to approve the m-d-yy Meeting Minutes.”

Another member says: “I second.”

The chair says: “It is moved and seconded to approve the m-d-yy minutes.”

Then, we vote. If we get majority “Ayes” then we can be done with the Meeting Minutes.

This is also the process for any time we vote on something (like spending)

Bringhurst Club Updates

Eight clubs listed on PTO website.

Code Club - Scratch Junior Club starting 2025 - 17 spots filled up within 3 hours of announcement. Separate class can be organized if there are parent volunteers.

PTO actively encourages and supports volunteer parents to form parent-led clubs. If you or anyone you know is enthusiastic about leading a new club, please contact PTO Club Coordinator to assist you to making that happen. This is a wonderful chance to create new opportunities for our students and foster their passions.
