     2. Big Red Award         a. Volunteers Terri Stenger reported that last month MMS had 640 volunteer hours. It was suggested that the parent volunteer form be revised to include child's name and email address along with home and work numbers. PTO would like the teachers to get parents to fill out these forms at each grades orientation program. PTO needs more volunteers.         b. Cost for this grading period The 3rd. Big Red Award cost $3020.00. Gear Up paid for the 4th Big Red Award which was the ice cream party.
