This Friday, December 18th is the last Blythe Park Spirit Day of 2015! Show off those cool tie-dye shirts or find your favorite Blythe Park spirit wear and show it off!
 Please join students and staff for a Blythe Park PTA event on Friday, December 18th @ 10am in the gym for what many schools say is “the best assembly our school has ever hosted!”
Tim Hannig has been honing his show since 1981 and he says “when I am able to connect with the kids using entertainment, they are more open to the Pro-Kids message of respect and caring for others. That is what it is all about!”
The show is full of music, magic, stories and comedy, and throughout it messages of respect, trustworthiness and other character qualities are communicated through entertainment and involvement. The students are “doing” not just “viewing.”
 We are now offering a Girls and a Boys Yoga class.
Here is the schedule for the rest of the fall session.
12/17 boys
Class runs 3pm - 3:45pm on Thursdays and the cost is $10 per class. Please sign up here by clicking on the Cheddar Up button below.
While we can accommodate day of registration/payment it’s always preferred to have sign ups the day before class.
Any questions please contact Rory Dominick at rory.dominick@gmail.com
