Summary
Jenny Holloway told the board the PTSO is district‑wide (not only elementary), and described a Giving Tree campaign with donor trees at local businesses and QR donations; the board accepted the corrected item and approved it unanimously.
The board heard from Jenny Holloway, who identified herself as president of the Blue Ridge Parent Teacher Student Organization and clarified that the group is district‑wide rather than elementary‑only.
Holloway described PTSO goals to raise funds to support staff and students across the district and to tie fundraising to the community (Chamber, local businesses). She previewed a Giving Tree project: donor trees placed at local businesses, the district office and schools with QR codes for donations, and tags listing staff wishes; the campaign will run three weeks starting the coming Friday and Saturday.
The board agreed to correct the agenda language from 'elementary' to 'district' and then voted to approve item 3.2 unanimously.
The presentation and public comment emphasized community engagement and volunteerism; Holloway said the PTSO aims for fun and sustainable fundraising that benefits teachers, staff and students districtwide.
