Dear Parents/Guardians,
Happy New Year and we’re off and running into our second semester of the
year already! I was amazed and impressed with the band and choral
performances of our middle school students prior to the holidays, and
particularly noted the quick growth of our 5th
grade band members
Sadly, our nation dealt with the tragedy that struck Sandy Hook Elementary
in Connecticut, which naturally makes us reflect as a school community on
how we conduct business daily to keep our students and staff safe at all times.
We continually monitor our practices and are reflective as a building on how
we can be alert and diligent at following processes consistently. I’d like to
thank our PTA for heading a quick project under the National PTA to have
the students make snowflakes to send to Connecticut in an effort to create a
“winter wonderland” for surviving Sandy Hook students to return back to
school in. Additionally, fifth grade teacher, Mr. Quayle, coordinated an
opportunity for NRMS students to sign a banner we had made for the Sandy
Hook school community that offered our support to them. Many of our
students wanted to reach out to help in some way so both of these efforts
provided that opportunity for our students.
Last week, all NRMS students had the opportunity to experience the fun,
excitement, and motivation of Andy Thibodeau, a national speaker in the
area of student leadership. Follow-up sessions were held with all student
council members in grades 5-8, and then again with our 8th
grade Leadership
students and Honor Society members at our Middle Level Leadership
Conference which included 15 other area middle schools. The premise of
Andy’s presentation is to make care contagious. In other words, spread the
good work done at and for the school onto others! The students and staff
greatly enjoyed what Andy had to offer and were reminded of how each of
them can continue to develop their internal leadership qualities by getting
involved in activities at school. Be sure to ask your student about Andy’s
visit to NRMS!
Since our return back to school this month, teams have begun conducting
benchmark assessments in the area of reading and math, 8th
graders taking
courses for high school credit took midterms, and our Winter Sports Club
has begun under the direction of Mrs. Dostal and Mr. Filips. Additionally,
our wrestling coaches (Mr. Benze, Mr. DeMattie, Mr. Foldesy, and Mr.
Vadini) sponsored their annual tournament, and NRMS hosted the district
Power of the Pen tournament (coordinated by Mr. Anderson and Mrs.
Drescher). These events could not take place without a great amount of
parent help and support which we greatly appreciate!

Principal’s Message Continued Dates to make note of:
A BASKETBALL TAILGATE will be held on February 7th
after school to cheer on the 8th
grade
girls’ team at 4:30, and then the 8th
grade boys’ team immediately following.
The 7/8 choir concert scheduled for February 5th
has been moved to March 13th
in our Gold Gym at
NRMS.
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!
Sincerely,
Melissa I. Vojta
Principal
PTA President’s Message Happy New Year to everyone! It’s hard to believe the school year is half over! PTA volunteers have been hard
at work around the school. Thank you to everyone who has been donating their time. Thanks to April Lozinak
and her committee for their hard work with the Memory Book. Thanks to everyone who participated in the Fall
Fundraiser. With all of the orders, and Marie Laheta’s hard work, PTA raised over $4800.00!! This money
will be used for the kids and our school- so thank you! In addition, thank you to the many PTA parents who
volunteered to help at the Jump Rope a thon run by the PE department, the Leadership Conference and the
Power of the Pen. Thanks to Helena Johnson for all of her hard work with the Sunny D labels. With all of your
Sunny D labels, we were able to obtain over 160 books for our school. Each team will receive 13 new books!!
Keep saving those labels!
At our January meeting we selected our Nominating Committee. The following people were voted in: Jen
Porter, Michelle Yuzwa, Brad Hughes, Mary Ellen Watrobski and Beth Knull. Becky Humes will be the
alternate. If you are interested in being on the Executive Board for the 2013-2014 school year, please fill out
the Executive Board form (in the newsletter) and return it to the PTA mailbox by February 1st, or contact
myself.
I will be accepting nominations for the Ohio PTA Achievement Award. If there is a teacher, parent or someone
in the PTA that you feel has done an outstanding job and goes the extra mile for our students- please take the
time to nominate them for this award. I will accept nominations up until one week before our March meeting,
which is March 12th
. We will be voting at our March meeting. No nominations will be accepted from the floor.
You may email or send your nomination to me.
Our next PTA meeting is Tuesday, March 19th
. Our Nominating Committee will present the Executive Board
slate at this meeting.
I will continue to send out the weekly email blasts. If you have any questions or comments, please do not
hesitate to contact me.

North Royalton Middle School PTA Meeting Minutes January 22, 2013 Community Room
Call to Order: 9:35 a.m. Lynn Dorman, President
Pledge and Welcome
SECRETARY’S REPORT – Mary Ellen Watrobski
Nov. minutes posted online. No changes or additions to be made.
CORRESPONDING SECRETARY’S REPORT – Jen Porter - none
TREASURER’S REPORT – Sandy Mraz
Balance on hand: $33,665.63
PRINCIPAL’S REPORT – Mrs. Vojta
A lot has taken place since our last meeting. I just want to mention the Sandy Hook tragedy. It really
hits home when something like that happens. We’ve been spending time as a district reviewing procedures.
We will not be afraid to question someone who is around without i.d. Unfortunately we would’ve increased
security if the bond issue had passed. Thank you for your support of the Sandy Hood community.
We had numerous concerts before the holidays. It’s incredible to see the growth in the students,
especially the 5th
graders. It’s hard to believe the year is half over. Some eight graders took midterms last
week.
We have benchmarking going on, the students use the computers. We changed things a little bit, because
the media center needed to be shut down for testing. So, with the exception of the 5th
graders (because of the
length of their math test) we are having each team take one day to do all of their testing. This will also help to
prepare the students for the future online OAA testing. So far it’s going well, and we don’t need to shut down
the computer lab. We are looking to having more mobile devices in the future for testing.
Winter sports club has started. This year we have been able to arrange with our transportation department
to get two buses to come early after school, so they can fully use their ski passes. The kids are happy to get an
extra hour of skiing.
We had another Pride of NRMS since being back from break.
We have a meeting tonight at 6:00 p.m. for the 5th
grade trip to the CVEEC. Tomorrow the 8th
grade
parent meeting for HS registration will be in the PAC. Eighth graders are encouraged to attend with their
parents.
Andy Tibido is coming in to do student leadership conferences. All students will attend an assembly.
Then, Student Council will have a special workshop. On Friday there will be a leadership conference with
several other schools for 8th
graders who are leadership students or honor society students.
This Saturday is the Power of the Pen.
Date changes: the basketball tailgate party will be on Feb.7th
, so this Thursday’s games have been
rescheduled for that date. We may need help from PTA during the tailgate party; I’ll let Lynn know what we
need. Feb. 5th
we had concerts scheduled, but there is a home basketball game, so the concerts have been
changed to March 13 in gold gym.
TEACHER REPRESENTATIVE – Mrs. Haberkorn, Mrs. Connelly
Thank you to the parents who helped with the parties before winter break and for your continued support.
SCHOOL BOARD REPRESENTATIVE – Heidi Dolenzal
No re-elections of board members. No legislation changes. There is a survey going on regarding the bond
issue, just looking for community feedback, some of you may be contacted via a phone call. It’s about a 10
minute call. It’s a well-rounded survey, as far as demographics. There will be 400 done.
Stuff the Bus will be March 15 & 16 at Giant Eagle.

the American Heart Association.

Fall Fundraising Final Wrap Up: Once again, thank you to everyone that
participated in the Taste of Home/Ultimate Beverage Sale. The December delivery date went well with the helping hands of students, custodians, secretaries and Lynn Dorman, Beth Knull, Susie Perez, Valerie Kanieski, Karen Maguire, Nancy Porter, Susan Kieklak, Linda Rudy, Lori Krzywicki , anyone I missed (sorry) and all families that picked up their orders. Only 2 orders were left at the end of the pickup time! With all of those perishable items… that was great! An added thanks to Treasurer Sandy Mraz, who was always ready for another deposit or check request for prizes and fundraising company bills! Because we chose our own prizes this time, it was more work. In the end, we sold the remaining NR Bears bags and about 40 NR Bear dog tags. Our profit increased as our costs decreased. I have confidence that we will vote on donating the remaining 105 dog tags to the spring carnival prize committee. WHEW!!! Your support of North Royalton Middle School PTA is appreciated. Robert Matus won the IPOD Touch and Cameron Lipp won the$25.00 I-Tunes gift card. The 5 winners for $10.00 I-Tunes gifts cards were: Sarina Morganti, Mindy Fairbee, Hamdi Ali, Bradley Humble and Callie Papenfuss. Four students sold 20 items for the NR Bears blankets and twenty- two sold 10 items for the Handel’s pint cards. Thanks to Handel’s and Gearin’ Up for discounting the costs of these items. Hope you enjoyed the tastes of these special snacks and coffees/ beverages. I know my family did! Marie Laheta, NRMS PTA Fall Fundraising Chairperson

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 at
our PTA meetings, but it is not necessary to attend the meetings in order to become a PTA member. The

Important Information
Did you know?
Every year, each PTA unit must report their number of volunteer hours to Ohio PTA to maintain our tax-
exempt status with the Federal Government!
What hours should be tracked?
Time spent writing PTA agendas, minutes, correspondence, reports, newsletter articles
Time spent on PTA-related activities at school or within the community: party planning meetings,
parties, fundraising activities
Telephone time regarding PTA business
Travel time to and from PTA activities or travel time spent shopping for PTA related items (party
food, decorations, etc.)
Attendance at any PTA related meeting, workshops
There are several ways for you to track your volunteer hours:
E-mail volunteer hours directly to me: karanrn@gmail.com . This is the BEST way to communicate your
hours to me. If you remember at a later date you did not document your hours, this is a great way to
still let me know what time you volunteered! Better late than never! Please do not submit hours to me
via email that have already been captured on paper
There will be a sheet at all PTA meetings for you to log volunteer hours
Committee chairpersons should have a form available at all large events for you to document the
volunteer hours you contributed to that event
There will be a form that you can fill out in every NRMS PTA monthly newsletter [you can print the
form from the online copy of the newsletter]. Return to PTA mailbox or send to school with your child
in an envelope marked “PTA Volunteer Hours”
What I need to know when you submit hours:
Your name
Month activity took place
Number of hours you volunteered under each category (service, fundraising or legislative)
Please help to capture the true amount of hours we contribute as PTA members for NRMS. If you have any
questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you for your help and your time! The NRMS PTA, staff and students
appreciate all you do!
Sincerely,
Karan Kyle
Volunteer Coordinator
