4. QFHSA updates/other (Brian
- Brian: some H&S schools said that the money raised by parents is owned by another body other than H&S.
- At a Chelsea H&S meeting, somewhere from school board, sent to the principles sections of education act to deal with schools that have no H&S group. The suggestion was to have large forms for every event, push back that parents are not going to fill those in. Schools can give a receipt, but not a tax deductible receipt.
- Mike Duggan still has 18-20 K reserved for south hull H&S, we need a two week period to raise the funds.
- Playground committee meeting, parent sub-committee group, Thursday November 28

10. Recipe in a jar
Ends Sunday- easy fundraiser
11. Sock Fundraiser
- Chloe + Cathy: “Hype Socks” run fund raisers similar to our school gear, they are branded sport socks. The more you order the cheaper they are 200-300 pairs we pay $9.25 , so we could sell they for more. Sample is arriving soon
- Revisit in January when we see the sample.
- Earmarked funds in 1 school year that are not spent, they are not rolled over unless they ask.
- Brian: need to have an allocation for the funds in the account, 500$ is fine, more than that should be allocated ahead of time because CRA or Revenue Quebec an audit anyone.
- Someone should take photos of what events and purchases we have so that we have something to show parents, newsletter,
- Chloe: to Celine- can we add another page / space at the end of the newsletter
- Brian: Provincial newsletter, we could put more pictures of the kids/volunteers/events
