We hope you will join the PTA for the first time or renew your membership. Joining will not only benefit your children and all Blythe Park students, it will help your family connect to teachers, other parents, and all the great events happening at our school and in our district. Every year, many parents are generous with their time, resources and talents. The PTA can’t thank you enough for your participation. We hope you will join once again, attend meetings and volunteer as often as you can. While our small school atmosphere is wonderful for our kids, it also means that we do need help, ideas, and support from all our families.

Please consider giving to the Direct Donation Campaign which supports all of the activities that help make our students’ experience at Blythe Park School so incredible.
