NEW After-School Programs
At the January 11 meeting, attendees voted to decrease the Spring budget due to a deficit. The following changes were made:
- The Holiday Bazaar ($250 in expenses, no budgeted revenue) and the Walkathon ($500 in expenses, no budgeted revenue) were both cut. The Holiday Bazaar was not held due to low returns in prior years and a lack of volunteers. The Walkathon will not be held because we are having the Color Run in April.
- Operation Feed the Need was cut completely ($1,500 in expenses, no budgeted revenue)--due to a lack of volunteers, we were unable to get this effort off the ground this year.
- Subsidies for field trips were decreased from $5,000 to $1,000. The $1,000 is reserved for students/families in need so that we can ensure every student is able to participate.
- Spring Fling (also known as the UMES STEAM Fair) ($2,500 in expenses, no budgeted revenue) has been cancelled. We haven't had any volunteer interest in leading this event.

Meet the UMES

We desperately need volunteers to help us offer a number of programs and initiatives that the UMES community has grown to love such as picnics and fairs, movie nights, Operation Feed the Need, Teacher Appreciation Week, and more.
Even if you only have an hour a month, we would appreciate your help! Sign up to help with a specific event or based on your skills and/or availability. |
