Annual Beagle Contribution (ABC)
Reminder: Donate before September 30th

Norman Rockwell PTA has one primary fundraiser per year through our Annual Beagle Contribution.

The amount of your support will determine which additional events or programs (such as STEM/STEAM Night and the School Musical) will be funded.  

Thanks so much to those of you who have already donated! We really appreciate your generosity and support. We are just over half way to our deadline of September 30th but only at 26% of our $34,000 goal.

If you'd like to help us achieve full funding by September 30th before e have to adjust our budget and cut programs, the time to act is NOW. We are asking families for a suggested donation of $125 per child.

Working for Microsoft, Google, Boeing, etc.? Be sure to ask about getting your donation matched! Click here to learn more. This is free money for our kids!

Thank you!
