Blythe Park PTA Happenings 05/08/2018

Blythe Park students, families and the PTA have been preparing for weeks to show teachers and staff just “How sweet it is to be taught by you!”

Teacher Appreciation Week is this week!
Teachers and staff were surprised with door decorations, the staff refrigerator stocked with goodies, appreciation notes from students and the first of the week’s daily “Cake Walks” won by Mrs. Sayre and Mrs. Maja Milicevic!

This year, in an attempt to minimize the amount of time parents need to take away from their work day to attend student events, Blythe Park will be combining its annual ACES Walk (All Children Exercising Simultaneously) with the Cardio Kids Final Run. This event will take place on Thursday, May 17 starting at 8:30am. *Parents are welcome and encouraged to attend.

NEW ROUTE –
Our route will be changing this year to minimize street crossings. Both runners and walkers will be using the same route. CLICK HERE to view map.

*If you live along our new route, please feel free to chalk your sidewalks with words of encouragement for our students.

GARDEN UNVEILING –
Immediately following the Race/Walk, the PTA will unveil the newest addition to Blythe Park’s Art Garden.

SCHEDULE, Thursday, May 17 –

• 8:35 am – Cardio Kids Runners will line up and start.
• 8:40 am – ACES Walk: All other students and staff will line up with their class and begin the walk.
• After the Run/Walk – As everyone returns they will be provided with water bottles and asked to relax in the amphitheater or stand along the path and cheer for those behind them. When everyone has finished and had a chance to have some water, all those present will walk around the building to the south doors for the garden unveiling.
• 10:00 am – All activities should be concluded at this time.
