NCHS PTO
Minutes of the Board Meeting 3/19/12
• President Anne Matter called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m. Members and guests in attendance totaled 12.
• Minutes from the 2/27/12 meeting were reviewed and approved as reported.
Treasurer’s Report
• Judy distributed copies of the 2011-2012 Budget and the Financial Statement for March, 2012.
• Current Cash balance is $9,586.25.
• Still need to pay the HOBY grant.
• There is $1500.00 in the budget for the scholarships to be awarded.
• Hospitality still has about $1,700.00 left to spend.
• The New Student Breakfast actually received t-shirts instead.
• Haven’t received a bill for the Recycling Program.
• Dr. Nuckolls will check on some checks that have not cleared the bank yet.
• Judy said the concession sales are winding down since it’s the end of the school year and we will not be buying anymore merchandise, other than what is needed.
• Since registration is going to be online this fall, we will probably lose money in memberships and we need to look at ways to make that up.
Principal’s Report
• MAP testing for the freshmen will take place on April 18, 19, 20 – it will include sophomores next year.
• PSAE testing for the juniors will be on April 24 & 25.
• Senior Brunch is on April 25.
• Nicki Mauer is the new Associate Principal beginning next school year.
• Mr. Bollmann will attend the April PTO meeting. He has some new programs and building changes when he takes over as principal in the fall. There will be coaches in core classes, and the back wall of the IMC will be removed.
• Judy Jiles asked about the school accepting used caps & gowns for those students who cannot afford to buy them. Dr. Nuckolls thought this was a good idea and said caps & gowns are distributed at the Senior Rehearsal, so there will be a better idea of the number of students in need at that time.
President’s Report
• Anne stated that several scholarship applications have been picked up in the Guidance Office, but none have been turned in yet.
• There was discussion to move the scholarship application deadline to April 5 at noon and Patty Chikahisa will pick them up on that afternoon. Anne, Patty, and Sharon will meet on April 11 to choose the recipients. The names on the applications will be “blacked out” and Tana needs the names of the recipients by April 18.
• Anne reported that Lisa Brinkman is interested in being on the Hospitality Committee.
• We are still in need of a President and Vice President next year and no one has expressed an interest yet. We need a slate of people to vote on at the April meeting.
• There was a Request for Funds submitted by the Junior After-Prom Committee, but no one showed up at the meeting to talk about their request. Mary said last year the committee had to fundraise for money and limit expenses to money they had. Sharon made a motion that we spend $500 from the Hospitality fund and give it to After-Prom, Julie seconded. This is not to set precedence for future funds for the After-Prom Committee.

Agenda Items:
Old Business
• No old business discussed.
New Business
• Sheri reported that FBLA will be doing Market Day fundraising next year. She wanted to know if it was okay to use the freezer in concessions to put teacher’s items that are not picked up. They would only be in there for a day or two.
• Julie reported that the inside concessions hot dog machine is fixed – all of the screws in the motor fell out. It was under warranty for the repair. Martha Arjona is in charge of baseball concessions outside and wants to know if they can use the hot dog machine for their concessions.
• Julie has sent messages to the Track coaches about getting volunteers for Track concessions and has only received forms back from 3 parents on the girls’ team. She needs some boys’ parents to help out too and has not heard anything from the boys’ coaches.
• Jennifer Kelly attended the meeting to thank Iron Pride for providing the frames for artwork; they were able to raise $2,220.00. Judy asked about getting one of the Art classes to make a design for spirit wear and Jennifer Kelly recommended she contact Jason Ruyle.
