 The meeting was called to order at 6:30 p.m.

 Topics discussed:

            There is the possibility of a presentation on “Parental Rights After a Child Reaches 16” at the April meeting.

            There seems to be a need for a more comprehensive Freshman Orientation for freshmen parents in early Fall.  It would be helpful for the freshmen parents to know about class dues, the graduation requirements, and CAPT testing early.

            The Court Jesters Basketball fundraiser was discussed.  Possible dates and fee options will be investigated.

            More adults are needed to help with the Flea Market (3/6/04) and the Antique Show (3/27/04) and to obtain ads for the show program.

            The PFO would like to offer funds to subsidize school-wide assemblies or educational trips for students.
