Dear Parents/Guardians,

Happy New Year! It was wonderful to see so many parents at our holiday

concerts before winter break. Thank you for your support, and also to the

parents that helped with our team parties in grades 5 and 6. We couldn’t do it

without you! Also prior to break, school counselor Ms. Jennifer Gaydos was

awarded the district Crystal Starfish Award for going above and beyond the

scope of the job to make a difference for our students. If you have had the

chance to work with Ms. Gaydos at NRMS, this should come as no surprise to

you We are very proud to have her as a part of our team!

On December 13, NRMS welcomed a speaker from Rachel’s Challenge to

share the story of Rachel Scott and the positive message for change she left

behind (learn more at rachelschallenge.org). All students had the opportunity

to experience this amazing event, and members of our 8th

grade Honor

Society, Student Council, and Chain Links groups participated in a

leadership training seminar on how to get Rachel’s “chain reaction” started.

Nine other area middle schools visited and participated along with us which

provided a great opportunity for our student leaders to network and share

ideas. Members of Chain Links also presented at the January Board of

Education meeting, along with one of our faculty advisors, Mrs. Deanna

Paolino, to share past, present, and future ideas the club has for continuing to

spread the kindness Rachel envisioned.

Our Physical Education department once again sponsored Jump Rope for

Heart to kick off the second semester of the school year. Mr. Francescone

worked his magic to accumulate prizes to be raffled off to students, with

highly desired items such as Beats headphones and cash!! Students purchased

tickets during lunch periods for just one week at a bargain price of $.25 each.

Staff members also had the opportunity to “dress down” if they made a

donation to the American Heart Association and our Student Council donated

as well. Altogether, NRMS will be donating over $2,300 to the American

Heart Association! Many thanks go to our PTA volunteers who sold tickets

and handled the organization of the donations and to Mr. Francescone for his

outstanding effort with organizing this worthy cause. Area businesses who

contributed prizes were:

Papa Johns Best Buy

Augie’s Pizza Gearin’ Up

Principal’s Message Continued Our Power of the Pen team, under the direction of Mrs. Drescher and Mr. Anderson, competed in regional competition

in mid-January. This year our 8th grade team brought home a HUGE 2

nd place win! All members of the team must write

and score extremely well for the entire team to not only place, but earn a high enough ranking to get 2nd

place!

Additionally, we had three individual winners: eighth graders Kate Altany and Kate Young and seventh grader Gerald

Mastellone. Congratulations to all of our participants!

I hope you had a chance to see the feature on our wrestling team, featuring Cedric Lehky, Connor Mills, Jack Nemetz,

Nolan Pearce, and Coach Dan Foldesy done by Fox 8 News last week. We are so proud of our fine young men for

recognizing and supporting the talents in one another and the power of teamwork Our website has the link for the

story if you missed it. Check it out!

Upcoming Winter Social Opportunity for ALL NRMS students: A BASKETBALL TAILGATE will be held on

February 6th

after school to cheer on the 8th grade boys’ team at 4:30, and then the 8

th grade girls’ team immediately

following. Student ticket sales will take place during the week of the games. Information will run on announcements and

will be posted on our website. We hope to see many students there!

Finally, our Board of Education recently voted to place the Bond Issue that was attempted in the fall on the May ballot

for voter approval. Please take time to familiarize yourself with the needs of our school facilities and consider becoming

involved in the campaign.

As always, we look forward to seeing you at our middle school events. Please feel free to contact our school office or

your student’s team coordinator at any time with questions you may have about life at NRMS. Stay warm!

North Royalton Middle School PTA Meeting Minutes January 21, 2014 Community Room

Call to Order: Lynn Dorman, President 9:35a.m.

Pledge and Welcome

SECRETARY’S REPORT – Mary Ellen Watrobski – November minutes were posted, no changes or

additions to be made.

CORRESPONDING SECRETARY’S REPORT – Jen Porter – Dec. cards are out, working on Jan.

TREASURER’S REPORT – Sandy Mraz - Balance on hand: $20,470.32

GUEST SPEAKER - Mr. Gurka –

Good morning. I’m just popping into PTA meetings around the district. With regard to calamity days, we

closed for two days following winter break for the cold temperatures, and made the decision to stay open the

third day because conditions were to be improving throughout the day. We have to think about students

standing out at the bus stop, buses starting and high school students’ cars starting in the afternoon. With

temperatures of 0 degrees and/or -15 wind chill we start our conversation about the day being called off. Buses

were able to start on Wed., however, some started breaking down during the run. Mrs. Vojta made a call just

to let people know that some buses were running late. It’s never an easy decision to cancel school. We watch

throughout the night and try to make the call by 5:00 a.m. Usually, when school is cancelled all activities are

cancelled. However, we may make an exception based on specific issues.

We have a special board meeting tomorrow here in the community room to discuss the bond being placed on

the May ballot. The board passed a resolution last week to submit for the millage to be certified. We’ve been

talking about facilities for many years. We need to do something about the conditions of our schools. Even the

middle school roof is reaching its lifespan. The longer we wait the more costly the issue becomes. If the

resolution passes, we will need your help and support in getting the issue passed. I’m happy to answer any

questions.

(Becky Cozzens) The next PASS meeting is Wed. January 29th

at 1:00 at the NR library. This is a group of

citizens working toward getting the bond issue passed; everyone is welcome to attend the meeting.

PRINCIPAL’S REPORT – Mrs. Vojta –

Good morning! Happy New Year! I hope you enjoyed the holidays. It was an awfully long break! We’re

starting our third quarter, and second semester today. There have been questions about wheel course credits

being lowered. The quarter classes are .25 credits and semester classes are .5 credits.

Before break Ms. Gaydos was awarded the Crystal Starfish award. It is very well deserved. We’re lucky to

have such great counselors working with our kids.

Thank you to the parents who worked the winter parties; they went great.

Nine other schools attended Rachel’s Challenge, which went great. Our Chain Links group, an offshoot of

Rachel’s Challenge has been rejuvenated. Members of the group attended the board meeting and have started

working on new activities. This group is open to all middle school students. Mrs. Paolino does a great job with

the group.

We just finished up Jump Rope for Heart. Mr. Fancescone is appreciative of the help. We earned over

$2,000.00 through raffles and donations from staff.

The Power of the Pen team competed last weekend and the 8th

grade placed second out of 27 teams. Each team

member needed to compete well to achieve this. We had some individual place winners as well. We’re very

proud!

regarding the weather.

TOGETHER WE CAN…

Parent Teacher Association

Make A Difference Dear Parents, Grandparents, and Friends:

The beginning of the school year marks the beginning of another school year of opportunities and

challenges for the students of North Royalton Middle School. We all want to see our students become the

best they can be. We try to support them in many different ways throughout the school year. One of the

most important ways we can support and encourage our students is by becoming a PTA member. Your

$6.00 membership fee helps provide social activities and creative challenges for our students. Our PTA

volunteers chaperone socials, provide tutoring, and assist the staff in many different ways.

Please show your children that their education is important to you by joining the NRMS PTA. Fill out

the bottom portion of this sheet and enclose it and your $6.00 membership fee in an envelope marked

“PTA Membership”, and return it to the school via your child as soon as possible. Everyone is welcome
