APT Meeting
2/8/16
- Welcome
- Heart of Oakland T-shirts still available for $20. We have sold enough to cover the printing costs, so all shirts sold now are profit that goes directly to the schools. Profit for t-shirts is being divided evenly between all schools.
- Emphasis Announcements — none
- Origami Project
- funded by APT as part of Ms. Humphrey’s STEAM focus
- all 7th grade math classes will have origami instruction from Taro on College Ave.

- DM has done the OSA yearbook for the past 6 or 7 years.
- Yearbook is an assignment in DM toward the end of the year.

- It usually comes out in mid-May.
- Yearbook includes student’s pictures, plus a two-page spread for each emphasis.

- DM can’t handle a pre-sale, but would support that idea if parents want to help coordinate.
