President’s Report: Mr. Smith could not join us but wanted us to know the school is doing great and just was designated a Pacesetter School by the state of KY, only 61 schools got this recognition and 55 of them were elementary schools and 4 out of the other 6 were selective admissions schools so another huge accomplishment for NOMS!!!
· Thank you to Jenny Stegeman for all her efforts on the Paragon fundraiser
· Thank you to Cindy Morgan for an exciting Red Ribbon Week and would you please share
the Oreo balls recipe that you gave the teachers, maybe even post it on the PTSA Blog?!
· Bathrooms – should begin next week with renovations
· Report cards go home 11-3-08
· There will be a general PTSA meeting on 11-6-08 in the evening, a member from the
American Mothers, Inc. Organization will speak to us.
· Please bring topic ideas for the January general PTSA meeting in Nov.
· It was unanimously voted to move the meeting to the second Weds. Of the month again so that the principal or a representative would be able to join us, the meetings will be at 8:45 in the NOMS cafeteria.
Secretary’s Report: The minutes from the last meeting stand approved
Corresponding Secretary’s Report: No report, continue to send any updates to Stephanie for

Membership Report: No updates at this time
Fundraising Report:
· Java brought in $13733.90 in gross sales, there is just 1 order left to complete
· Paragon brought in $13,080.00 in gross sales, we get 40% of this or $5232.00, the delivery
date is 11-7-08 at 12:45 to organize or 2:30 – 3:00 to help distribute to the kids and they
need help to do this!
· 25 late Paragon orders were received which will increase the revenue when they are
processed
· Little Caesar Pizza Fall Sale – It was unanimously decided to move this fundraiser to after
the first of the year
Programs Report:
· Reflections: We had 65+ entries this year. Checking into getting them displayed
somewhere. Working on Barnes and Noble in early December to acknowledge the
participants and recognize the winners, date and time tbd.
· Red Ribbon Week: Thank you to Cindy for a great week. There was something for every
teacher everyday which they really appreciated.
· High Achiever’s: Date tbd but thinking about the 3rd week in Nov. and each class will get
20 mins. in the cafeteria. Discussed the discount cards and the overall majority said they
never redeemed them if they even knew their kids got them so discontinue this. Maybe
get a coupon for a Blizzard to give away? Ice cream cone coupons not wanted. Discussed
the Good Grades – Good Citizenship rules and it was felt that this should be better
explained to parents/kids maybe through the PTSA Blog and/or the announcements.
· Staff Appreciation week – Lana will bring us a proposal to increase this budget in an effort
to make this a special week for our staff at NOMS.
Newsletter Report: Deadline for the next newsletter is 11-7-08, please get your information to Laura Karaglanis.
