Chocolate Festival Coming Soon!!! |
|
What exactly is the Norman Chocolate Festival? The Norman Chocolate Festival is our gift to the Norman community. With such a rich history of bringing families together to celebrate chocolate as an art form and spotlighting the talent and generosity of local culinary artists, the Festival is a staple on the city calendar. Secondly it is a fundraiser for the Norman PTA Council to support education and the welfare of children in Norman Public Schools. The Council awards thousands of dollars in grants for school PTA projects that promote family engagement and academic enrichment.
Tickets are on sale NOW and our great gifts during the holiday season!
All Norman PTA units are expected to have at least 2(two) volunteers at all council events; therefore please use this link below to have your volunteers signup. If you have any further questions or concerns please email the chocolate festival committee. Date And TimeLocationNorman North High School 1809 Stubbeman Avenue Norman, OK 73069 |

Dimensions Academy Partnership |
|
This year we are very excited about an opportunity that Norman PTA units have to partner with Dimensions Academy. Dimensions is a Norman Public School that serves students K-12th with a unique alternative education program to help ensure all students have equitable opportunities to achieve their full potential. As partners we will support both the faculty and students throughout the year. If your unit would like to host a teacher appreciation event please signup here. If your unit would like to signup to provide snacks or supplies for students please do so here. Thank you for your generosity and support!
If you have any further questions or concerns please feel free to contact Amanda Prince.
If anyone from Truman is interested in an opportunity to be a liaison for this project, please let us know! |
