Action Item: Cassie to ask for parent volunteers that can come into the school to help prepare snacks

–       Concerns about package prices, backgrounds, had to order by a certain date or a penalty, which was before the retake pictures were available, seemed less flexible, confusing website, would prefer to be able to just purchase digital options

–       Positive feedback for ease of use for website, quality of pictures

–       Drop off Tuesday Nov 15^th between 12 and 3, parent pick up between 3 and 5

–       May need more parent volunteers that afternoon if possible, let Richard know
