Concessions Update (Frances & Rachel)
Concessions prices have increased 20-30% this year. May meed to revisit sales prices and budget for 2023-2024 school year. Dr Underwood to see what other schools currently charge. Do we want the concessions as a money maker or a service to our families?

Unicycle (Laret)
7th and 8th grade Band and Strings students were required to wear Meigs Wear for their trip to Dollywood. I reached out to remind Mr. Norris that we still had some vintage wear for sale. He sent out an email to the parents with my contact info so that they could text me if they wanted to purchase any Vintage Meigs wear.

Over the weekend we had around 20 parents reach out to inquire about purchasing t-shirts and sweatshirts. They texted me sizes, etc.
I took photos of what we had in the requested sizes, collected cash or Venmo payments and delivered shirts to school on the Tuesday before the trip. In total the sales were $199.

Motion: I would like to request/propose to the board that I am able to use these funds to purchase bottoms (pants/shorts) for the clothes closet in the office as we have little to no sizes above youth large for bottoms in the closet. Motion approved. Ask Mrs Forrest what she thinks is needed since SSA is not required at Meigs.
