Join the
Panther Parent Athletic Booster Club
Norton Panther Parents Athletic Booster Club (PPABC) is the Sports Boosters for all Middle School
and High School sports (grades 7 - 12) in the Norton City Schools District.  We support the sport teams
with equipment while offering each sport a budgeted amount to help with their team needs.  We also
give out scholarships to a number of deserving student athletes.  In past years we were able to spend
over $60,000 which went towards the new wrestling room at the High School and a new Gator for use
on our outdoor sports teams.  Last year we were able to invest over $20,000 in new weight equipment
for the weight room at the high school.  We also spent over $5000 to purchase new warm-ups for the
track team.  Without the support of our community this would not be able to happen.
Next Meeting - Monday April 12th - 7:30pm - High School Media Center
