Three takeaways
- Two groups were separately planning food support. The duplication created work rather than reducing need. It was agreed to route it through one committee, with confidentiality as the first rule.
- The master calendar should belong to the admin account, not a volunteer. Anything owned by an individual disappears when that person rotates off.
- Teacher holiday gift cards went out — fifty of them, funded by the PTO.
What needed a volunteer
- Student Holiday Shop
- Hot chocolate bar
- Starting the ¡Sí Se Puede! sponsor emails — the earlier these go out, the better the festival does
What came next
The ownership rule now applies to the website, the calendar and the email aliases: they belong to the PTO’s admin account so the next person inherits them working.
