Annual Beagle Contributions (aka ABC) Fund

Please consider donating to the ABC fund to help support the programs we we want for all students.

Click here to donate to ABC today (It's step #3 in the welcome packet, after you join the PTA).

This year we are asking every family to donate $110 per student to the ABC fund. In honor of families who might not be able to contribute due to the financial impacts of Covid, we are asking families who have not been detrimentally impacted by the pandemic to GIVE BIG and consider donating twice the suggested amount.

Did you know that the Norman Rockwell Elementary School PTA is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization?

Donations to the organization may be tax deductible. Many companies also match employee’s charitable contributions. Your annual beagle contribution is considered a donation & may be eligible to be matched.

Thank you so much!
