• newsletter communication is hard for some parents
• We should have one topic per email with that in the subject line

Konstantin: 

• send your ideas to the group then someone can volunteer to craft and send the individual topic emails

Angie Y: 

• for all upcoming open houses, ice cream socials and back to school fairs, we need to have an EAP/AAP table at each one to answer questions, get people on the mailing list and remind them about upcoming events. 
• You can also update your class contact/carpool lists there as well.
