THE LION'S ROAR!
January 12, 2024
FROM OUR PRIDE LEADER
Dear Norris Community,
Please take a moment next week (March 25-29) to help appreciate our wonderful staff at Norris! From our classroom teachers, specialists, intervention, paraprofessionals, office staff, and more, we are lucky to have the Best of the Best working with our Norris Lions! PTO has a full week of appreciation planned (see below for ways to help!). It means the world to our teachers to hear from parents on the impact they have had with a child - use this week to reach out and thank a Norris staff member for caring about and working hard for your student. I promise you will make their day!
Thank you for continuing to partner and collaborate with our team to keep our Norris community strong!
Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Dolezal, Principal
CONGRATS TO THIS WEEK'S ROAR TICKET WINNERS!
