NORRIS LIBRARY FUNDRAISER
You still have time to support the Norris library!
We have 5 days left in our online Titlewish fundraiser, and we’re 44% to meeting our goal.
We’d like to thank everyone who’s already donated and remind those of you who haven’t had a chance that this fundraiser ends on February 16th.
As a reminder, 100% of the money we raise will go directly to purchasing new materials for our school library. We’re going to use this money to purchase Best Fit Books for our school.
You can still donate, just visit https://www.titlewish.com/1095281 and click the Donate button.
Thank you again for helping us provide our Norris Lions with the best education possible!
