Principal's Report
Mr. Donndelinger reported that there is a team meeting in the next few days to tour the playground and assess needs and improvement options. Details and estimates will follow. Some possible issues to address are: repair backstop, repair swings, structural integrity of equipment, new mulch or wood chips, rehab volleyball court, add a bike rack. Looking towards the future, Mr. Donndelinger would like HASA to consider assisting with upgrading the computer lab, getting smart boards for remaining classrooms, or contributing to financial aid.

Trivia Night
Trivia Night was a success with a projected profit of $6599.94. This year's event was the largest we've ever had with 32 tables! There was a good mix of families from current and former students. Discussion for next year's event included if doing 32 tables again is possible, establishing a waiting list for tables, possibility of a larger venue, giving prizes to top three tables, separating check in from drink ticket sales, adding wine to bar, timing of next year's event, adding a second event.

Kindergarten open house went smoothly. Nine families attended. Kindergarten round up is in May so continue to encourage family and friends to explore St. Jude School as an option.
