The last of our playground renovation is done and we saved the best for last!! A huge thank you to Mr. Knoerr for creating this amazing mural. I can't wait to see all the fun games kids will create around this mural.

On behalf of Norton PTA, we extend a warm welcome to our new Norton Knight, Principal Aimee Cherry !! We look forward to working with you this upcoming school year!

Allen ISD has named Aimee Cherry as the new principal for Norton Elementary School.

Aimee joins Norton after serving as the Assistant Principal at Cheatham Elementary since 2018. She joined the district in 2007 as a second and third grade teacher with Story Elementary. She later served as the Campus Intervention Specialist at Cheatham Elementary.

She is working on her Doctorate in Education from Texas A&M University – Commerce and received her Master’s in Education Administration from Concordia University. A graduate of Allen High School in 2003, she earned her B.S.E. degree in Elementary Education at Oklahoma Christian University.

Please help us congratulate Aimee on her new role.

The Norton playground is freshly painted and ready for several years of four square, hop scotch, and whatever fun games kids create on three giant targets. A huge thank you to Jeff Clark, Scott Neuf, Kyle Gardner, Asher Gardner, Ben Sheppard, Michelle Castne, Aarti Gupta, and John and Tara Glotzbach. It's done, even with our crazy weather of late!

A huge thank you to Allen High School students Ashley Bullinger, Lilly McDonald, and Grace Glotzbach and Ereckson Middle School student Luke Glotzbach for volunteering to re-paint the US map on the Norton Playground. We look forward to future Norton students playing map tag for years to come!
