-I was wondering if we could discuss how to write grants, if anyone is knowledgeable about writing grants. Also, I have heard that the Music council has written grants as a group and they have gotten some amazing results. They got smart boards and document cameras for every music room in the district, as well as books for a complete music curriculum. Can we try something like that? -Judi Turk ---Music did not write grants for all of their equipment Approach the ESC about the contact person who write grants to assist Kelly Ulmer possible guest speaker for grant writing Granting writing/research is time consuming Charlotte Talbart, Ren Trapino possible contact for grant writing ---We will try and have a speaker at a meeting next year

-Good of the Order ---Berger Family was enjoyable and worthwhile trip

Hope to see you all at the MAY PARTY! THANK YOU ALL FOR A WONDERFUL 2008-2009 SCHOOL YEAR!!!!!
