So far $10,000 was left over from last year that PTA is giving to the school so that could possibly be used for specials so all students can benefit from it. Cara suggested indoor playground equipment. 5th grade teachers present (Ms. Dietrich and Ms. Gragg) suggested Legos or board games and indoor carts to store them in.
