4th and 5th grade parents,
We still have a few more spots available for the Spring Musical, and we don't want you to miss this opportunity for your child.
It is a proven fact that musical theatre can instill in your child skills they might not effectively learn elsewhere.
- Develop their sense of self and identity
- Expand their friendship group
- Help to learn responsibility (oh yes! Tell me more!)
- Help develop confidence
- Help explore talents they might not know they have
- Will improve their communication skills, coordination and fitness
- ...and is FUN!!!
Also, for you, come and be part of our team, meet new people and make a new friends, build this community, show your child that we are in the same team and in the end let's be proud together of our kids and what they can accomplish!
Auditions are starting on Tue February 19th, but we welcome your registration forms until Wed February 20th. This year it's as easy as 1,2,3:
- Print and fill the registration forms (or get one from the School Office), write a check of $85 to Norman Rockwell PTA (scholarships available), take headshot of your actor
- Take a picture of your forms
- Send them to musical@normanrockwellpta.org
Done!
Let's do this together and give our kids a lifetime memory!

PTA MEN'S ESSAY CONTEST
Men Making a Difference
deadline is March 1
This statewide essay contest explores the important and varied contributions that men make in the lives and education of children - from the children's perspective.
All men involved in a child's life - fathers, uncles, grandfathers, brothers, step-fathers, mentors, neighbors, pastors, coaches, and friends - impact the children they care about. Research clearly shows that male involvement positively influences academic success at all levels of schooling - preschool through college. When male figures are involved with students' schooling, they enjoy school more and perform better in and out of school.
You can find out more about the contest (including guidelines and grade-level entry forms
here.
The application deadline is March 1st
.
