Mr. Prinz brought up that PFK might want to create a logo to have on the plaques. Anyone interested in presenting a logo idea needs to bring to the next meeting. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Diana Hasler created a flyer for suggestions on spending this year’s PFK dollars. We will be sending this home so that we can have some input back from parents on ideas.
