We organize to make Norman Rockwell an enriching environment for our children by providing financial and volunteer support for the following Rockwell programs and many more:  Educational assemblies, visits from the Toy Maker (enriching STEM learning), Salmon in the Classroom, grade level grants for educational enrichment in the classrooms, buses for educational field trips, Math in Action programs, art docent program, local author visits, school musical, after-school programs, yearbook, teacher appreciation, the weekly Bugle newsletter & PTA website for parents, and much more. Additionally, we plan many special family events throughout the year such as the BBQ, Ice Cream Social & Art Showcase, Heritage Night, Bingo Night, and the school dance. More about PTA here. 

The PTA is made of parents....just like you. We have jobs, we have small children, we have other commitments. Gone are the days when the PTA was only for non-working parents. We ask all of our parents to step up - whether it is volunteering in the classroom, chairing an event, or serving on the board.  Parent involvement is a big part of what makes a school great.

Please take the time to consider one of these available positions. Any position can also have a co-leader...so you can find a friend or someone to partner with and chair it together. We can't do it without all of you. Unfilled positions may result in events or programs being canceled. 

Email our nominating committee (Kit Craig & Beth Batig) or PTA President, Cari Scotkin, or anyone on our current board! 

Our goal is to have every position filled by our next General Meeting in May for elections.

Our talented cast of Rockwell 4th and 5th graders have been hard at work to bring you a fantastic show! Join them as they take you "under the sea", while bringing to life a tale of mermaids, fathers and daughters, and true love. Plenty of funny fish, silly sea creatures, sassy seagulls, and heroic humans join Ariel on her quest to find her prince, while an evil sea witch has other plans for her. Don't miss the show or you'll be a "poor, unfortunate soul!"
