PTSA: Andrea Hogan—Expressed her thanks to all the volunteers who helped with Oquirrh Fest. Red Ribbon Week will be Jan 22-25. The theme is “Never been cool to do drugs”. Will have activities to reflect different decades.

Book Fair: Tressa Spigarelli—February 11-13, 2019. Would like to set up on Thursday, February 7th, and have a teacher preview on February 8th. Needs signage to reflect that we are now required to charge sales tax on student purchases. Also, Scholastic wants to connect its router to the OHMS internet directly. That might cause issues with firewall protection and kick Scholastic out. Tressa will try to coordinate between Scholastic and Jordan School District Tech people.
