Fundraising Report: The Java fundraiser brought in gross proceeds of $10, 269.50 with net proceeds being approximately $5, 000.00 with a few more orders still coming in to be included later. Nine students were winners of the $100.00 daily prize, the top 10 overall sellers will receive $100.00 each and the top overall seller will receive $200.00. The classroom with the most dollars sold will win breakfast in the cafeteria on 10-3-08 from 8:30 – 9:30. Java will be distributed on 11-3-08.
Paragon Fundraiser: Kick off will be at the assembly on 9-25-08 with orders due 10-9-08. There is a flyer that tells about selling initiatives and prizes based on dollars they sell and the top seller at NOMS will receive $100.00 while the class that participates the most will receive a pizza party.

Reflections Report: Entries are due 9-25-08 and there will not be an extension due to the windstorm as students have had plenty of time to enter. There is currently no dance judge but there are no dance entries either, all other categories are covered with judges.

Kentucky Kids Day Report: It was a fun morning with the red carpet rolled out and kids entering school getting their pictures taken and asked for their autographs which was a super idea, they loved it! A video with pictures and music was shown in the afternoon and the students really enjoyed that too! Next year it was recommended to call and remind the volunteers who sign up as six people volunteered but only one person showed up to help on the red carpet.

Red Ribbon Week: October 13 – 17th
Each day of this week there will be a fun activity for the kids to participate in and win prizes all which reinforce being drug free. Wednesday Oct. 15th students are asked to bring in one canned good item to donate to the Harvest Food Bank. For Friday’s assembly all kids are invited to wear red and the winner of the door decorating contest will be announced. We need volunteers so please email Cindy Morgan at Cindy.Morgan@insightbb.com if you can help out.

Newsletter Report: Great job on the first newsletter!
SBDM Report: No report as the meeting was cancelled.
