On behalf of the PTSA – Thanks for all you do to make NOMS the best place our kids could attend school! It’s been a great start to a new school year. The big NEWS is that after over a year – the NOMS Bathroom project is complete – bath-rooms are open and in use!!! YEAH!!! Thank you for your support and patience through the project. They look great!
If you haven’t already heard – the NOMS PTSA has created a web page for you - the parents. Please go to www.nomsptsa.blogspot.com to find up-to-date news, photos and minutes from PTSA meetings, the PTSA roster and calendar. You can even participate in polls – we want your opinion.
The PTSA also supports and recommends parents attending Operation SPIRIT classes. These classes are designed specifically for parents of middle and high school students. By you investing the time in these classes now, you will empower yourself to make better and informed choices for your family. For more information please go to www.operationspirit.org.
I have a long list of people to thank: I’d like to thank all the students and parents that supported the PTSA Fall Fundraiser. It was a huge success and we couldn’t have done it without you. I really appreciate Beth Scherer for chairing the project and Jenny Stegeman as the VP of Fundraising. I’d also like to thank all the teach-ers and parents that helped out in any way. Please read further in the newsletter for details about prizes, etc.
There have been several other events happening at NOMS. In September the stu-dents celebrated Kentucky Kids Day. Special thanks to Nancy Stevens and Susan Spayd and all the volunteers for putting a green twist on the day – NOMS is now equipped with recycling containers in every classroom and in the cafeteria, hallways and gymnasium. The kids got to "Picture themselves Recycling" by having group photos taken in a photo booth during their lunch! What a great move for the school and special day for the kids.
In October we also celebrated Red Ribbon Week. This is a week dedicated to the education of avoid-ing drugs, cigarettes and alcohol, and making good choices. Please take the opportunity to talk to your son or daughter about these dangers. I’d like to thank Allyson Parker and her committee for doing such a wonderful job promoting this important message to our students. Go to www.nomsptsa.blogspot.com for more details.
Special thanks to Kim Dehler for running our NOMS PTSA Reflections Program. The Reflections Awards ceremony will be held in conjunction with the General PTSA meeting on November 18 @ 6:00 in the Media Center at NOMS.
With the first grading period over, it’s time for the "High Achievers" celebrations. All students that received either all A’s or all A’s and B’s - with no write ups - will be invited to attend the High Achiever Celebration. Special thanks to Michelle Hall and Patty Sweetall for chairing such a rewarding program, and to the many volunteers that help make this pro-gram such a huge success.
Holly Ansman is another special volunteer for completing the NOMS Directory. If you ordered a directory you should have received it; if not, you can purchase one at the front office at NOMS.
The fall classes of Operation Spirit are coming to an end. Lyne Church, Dan Roach, and Susan Carey deserve a round of applause for facilitating our North Campus meetings. THANK YOU! Operation Spirit will start up again in January.
Timely and effective communication with parents and students is one of our top goals. At NOMS we have the "Daily Announcements" that come from Mr. Eaton as a means of com-municating with you. If you do not receive these announcements, please be sure to contact him. The information is also on the web site: www.oldham.kyschools.us/NOMS. We would like to thank Mark Eaton and Gay Alsup for all they do to keep the information or-ganized, current and relevant.
NOMS is blessed with a great group of volunteers. As you can see, there are many events going on at NOMS in addition to academics, sports and clubs. Please review the calendar for future events. If you haven’t signed up to help, there are still plenty of opportunities to be involved. Please give Nikki Fuequay a call at 742-0990 or email her at nfuequay@aol.com.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at betsy4kids@aol.com. We appreciate your support! Go Mustangs!
Sincerely,
Betsy Lowe
PTSA President
