Blythe Park’s Fall & Spring Run & Walk club for students in grades 3rd - 5th will begin this Thursday morning, October 1st.  Please have your runners/walkers dressed appropriately for the activity and the weather and be ready to go 7:50am.  The club will meet every Thursday and Friday morning from 7:50-8:10am on the dates listed below.  The students will join Ms. Gorman and Mr. Bartelt in a run around the Blythe Park Campus.  Four laps around the school equals one mile.  Students will be tracked with the goal of completing an incremental marathon.  Parents are welcome to join as well.

Fall Club Dates:

The Bulldog Challenge starts this week!

Blythe Park’s fitness program, “the Bulldog Challenge” begins this week!

Our first Wellness Wednesday will be next week.  The students will have special guests in PE class - stay tuned for details!!

Construction to start on York Rd. this week. Take note of new drop-off location.

This week, the Village of Riverside will begin construction on York Road.  Consequently, both York and Leesley Roads will be closed, thus impacting our arrival and dismissal procedures.   During this time, we will use the school side of Kent Road for drop off.  Here are some arrival and dismissal information/tips so that our students come to school and arrive back home safely:

  • Drop-off will occur on the school side of Kent only.
  • Large oranges cones will indicate the drop-off zone. Please do not drop children off if you are not within the drop-off zone.
  • Parents who drive and wish to walk their child to the doors should not park along the school side of Kent as we need to keep traffic moving.

If your children are walking to school on their own, please remind them of safe street-crossing practices. We were able to push the start time of the project on Monday to after our arrival time.  This will give us an opportunity to speak to the students  during Morning Kickoff about construction and safety, thus preparing them for the temporary change of routine.   Staff, police and student patrol will be outside to assist our students as they adjust to the new arrival and dismissal patterns.

    

 

Garage Sale a HUGE success!

The Garage Sale was a HUGE success this weekend.   We raised $1,400 for Blythe Park PTA.  We would like to thank everyone who donated Items and who volunteered their time to our first Blythe Park PTA Garage Sale! We could not have done it without each one of you.
