Help Us Raise the Needle for William E. Norris School!
This year, the Norris PTO is rallying to meet an even greater need for funding to support our students, teachers, and school programs. While supply drives are incredibly helpful, they only address part of the picture. It’s the intangibles—the things we can’t always plan for—that are being cut back, and we’re determined to bridge that gap.
You’ve asked, and we’ve listened. Together, we’ve come up with this option to make a real difference for our school community.
Last year, thanks to your generosity, we raised $27,774 and spent $27,127 to fulfill teacher requests, reduce field trip costs, provide planners, and host community events like the beloved ice cream social. However, with rising costs and reduced funding, we anticipate the needs from the school will be far greater this year. Our traditional fundraising methods brought us to a break-even point, but this year, we’re aiming higher.
Every single dollar raised goes directly to fulfilling teacher requests and supporting our students. Please note: while the donation website includes an optional tip for the platform, this tip does not go to the PTO and can be set to zero. Rest assured, 100% of your donation to the PTO will go toward making a difference.
Let’s come together as a community to ensure our students and teachers have the resources they need—not just for today, but for the unexpected challenges ahead. Every dollar counts, and together, we can make a lasting impact.
Join us in raising the needle for Norris!
