Join us to help raise funds to benefit your Normandy students!
Normandy Elementary has been a part of the Columbine Community in Littleton for over 50 years. And throughout this time, Normandy has helped thousands of students learn, grow, and inspire one another. This spring, the nonprofit, volunteer-led PTO at Normandy is hoping to raise funds to tackle a major set of needs for the school and our students. Despite an increase in our state income and sales taxes that fund our school district, our school funding continues to decline given a demographic-based decrease in student enrollment (families simply aren’t having as many children any longer). This steady decline has resulted in increased class sizes, removal of enrichment events, and minimization of supply budgets—all of which negatively impact our students. Our goal is simple—with our biennial fundraising event, we are looking to raise funds to increase paraprofessional hours with the intent to support our teachers, supplement the Normandy enrichment budget to allow for school-wide assemblies, and purchase ten walkie-talkies (at $485 each using District standards) to increase school security.
We’re lookin’ to raise some serious scratch to unlock every student's full potential!
Major goals for this year include:
Empowering our teachers with ENHANCED PARAPROFESSIONAL SUPPORT
Strengthening our school’s top- notch SECURITY measures
Providing our students with exciting opportunities for ENRICHMENT
