Class of 2020 Events
Dear Parents and Guardians of the Class of 2020,
It has been a fabulous year working with the Class of 2020! They really came together as a class and we are looking forward to working with them as they become upperclassmen and take on more leadership responsibility.
We would like to acknowledge and thank Tani Marinovich for her unbelievable contributions to the Class of 2020 over the past two years. She has provided guidance, support and boundless energy. The class has been very fortunate to have her as a PA and we will miss her! We wish her much success!
The Class of 2020 welcomes Nancy Trodden as their third Parent Advisor. Nancy has a seven children, Willow (2016) and Drew (2017) who both graduated from Weston High, and Jamie (2019), Blaise (2020), June (2022), Haven (2023) and Addison (2026). Nancy is the past PTO Chair of both Weston High School and Woodland Elementary and her experience and endless energy will be tremendous assets to the Class of 2020.
Finally, please mark your calendars for the Class of 2020 Parent Social, on Friday evening September 14.
Have a great summer!
Charlie, Aba and Nancy

Second Quarter Minutes
| Meeting Date | Minutes |
| 11/1 |
Sweatshirt: – Come up with more advertising: more posters, social media – Middle school needs more advertising – Need more orders, currently below 200 order projection – There is “class apathy” right now; About 1/3 of orders are from out-of-class Haunted House: – Huge success, seems like both volunteers and participants enjoyed the event – Most money the class has ever made in a single event, around $4000 Advice for next year’s HH: – Warn people ahead of time to eat before the event so they don’t get hungry early – Shift out the actors so they don’t get tired |
| 11/8 |
Sweatshirts: – Possibly delay deadline for the Middle School – Could go to the middle school class meetings to announce the sweatshirts, but would require a longer deadline Mittens: – Find a way to sell the rest of the mittens (around 50-70 left) – Around $10 each, they were sold for $15 each last year – Go to Band/Orchestra concerts (last year a lot were sold there) Special Olympics Basketball Game: – Organize the committee (Has already been formed, positions last for 4 years) – On Superbowl Sunday Miscellaneous: – Decide whether to do Casino Night, paintball, or something else – Possibly use Advisory to send another survey, similar to what we did with the sweatshirt designs – California Pizza Kitchen: Joy has determined possible dates, just need to pick one |
| 11/15 | Sweatshirts: – 71 orders total, $20 profit each => ~$1400 profit – Not enough class involvement, significant number of orders were from out-of-class – Next time create a more specific survey; some people who asked for the design didn’t buy it Special Olympics: Miscellaneous: |

| 12/20 |
Sweatshirts: – Finish distributing hoodies Mittens: – Albert will find where mittens have been stored (Update: They have been located) Class Event: – All events have about the same approval percentage ~40-60% – Kids Night Out seems like the simplest option, but Student Council may also do it – Paintball could possibly be shut down by the school administration – Maybe Casino Night? – Albert will call Regis College for room rental for Casino Night Prom: – Hotel double-booked, can’t do the original date – However, if we move it back one week, it will be 22% off |
