Blythe Park PTA’s Fun Lunch will be held Friday, February 6th. At the Fun Lunch, Blythe Park PTA serves lunch to all the children at no cost to the families. So, make sure not to pack a lunch on Friday!
At this year’s lunch, we will serve “Breakfast for Lunch” with a menu featuring pancakes, sausage, oranges and dessert. It will also be “Pajama Day”. Please encourage your kids to wear their pajamas to enjoy their “Breakfast for Lunch”.
Kindergarteners are invited to join us for the lunch too. Each kindergartener will need to be accompanied by an adult guardian and return the attached RSVP slip. We hope you can join us for the fun.

Riverside School District 96, in partnership with the Hollywood Elementary School PTA and the Safe Environment Commission of the Village of Riverside, welcomes educational speaker Josh Gunderson the week of February 9th.
With more than eight years of experience in educational theatre, Gunderson travels throughout the U.S. discussing real-life examples of positive and negative situations within the online world, specifically the detrimental effects of cyberbullying.
“Every day, it seems we hear about incidents of bullying and cyberbullying in particular,” says Gunderson. “With the growing influence of social media websites like Facebook and Twitter, it is crucial for students and parents to understand the ramifications of what can happen with just the click of a mouse. Bullying isn’t just happening in the school yard or hallway; it’s happening in cyberspace too.”
Gunderson will be visiting students, presenting “Your Digital Life.” This high-energy program shows the pros and cons of the online world in a way that keeps students engaged and entertained, but also has them thinking twice about their digital footprint. Highlighting areas such as thinking before you post, privacy, online identity, bullying, pictures and sexting, Gunderson uses his own unique brand of comedy to explain the rules for internet safety.
The “Your Digital Life” presentation for parents will take place on the evening of Monday, February 9th from 7:00 – 8:30pm in the Hauser Junior High Auditorium located at 65 Woodside Rd. in Riverside
Please see the attached flyer for more information.
