We saw a lot of you taking photos documenting the first day of school. Please share your photos with us. We would love to use them for the yearbook. Any photos you take in regards to Blythe activities we would love to have. Please email them to blytheparkpta@yahoo.com with the subject line 'Photos'.
Just a friendly reminder that Blythe Park's Supply Pick-up Day is tomorrow. Grade level pick-up times are:
9:00-10:00- Grades 4 & 5
10:00-11:00- Grades 2 & 3
11:00-12:00- Kindergarten and Grade 1
There will be a station set up for families to pick-up their supply boxes purchased through the PTA, a tech device station, and a station for remote families to collect their first set of supplies and resources of the school year.
Hybrid families, you have the choice of picking up your device on Supply Pick-up Day or having your child receive it on the first day of school.
We hope you will join the PTA for the first time or renew your membership.
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. 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.

Dear Blythe Park Parents:
Welcome to our new families and welcome back to our returning families! I am honored to be serving as your PTA President for the 2020-20201 school year. I am excited to be working with a very talented group of Executive
Board Members and Committee Chairs to support our incredible staff as they continue to offer our students the best possible learning experience.
Blythe Park is a wonderful place, due in part to the very active roles parents play. We hope that our new parents join in and returning families continue to stay engaged. We want you to know that your contributions to our PTA
make a difference in the lives of our students. Blythe Park PTA plays an integral role in our school. Not only do we host fun social events all throughout the year, but we provide much-needed funds for our teachers and staff to enhance their classroom and curriculum. In past
years we have supported the fitness programs, our school garden, author visits, science fair, Veteran's day celebration, Halloween play, talent show, field day, swimming party, fun lunch, ice cream social, teacher
appreciation week, yoga classes, and so many other activities that make the Blythe Park school experience an amazing and memorable one for our kids. While this year might not look the same, we are still working hard to
bring the Blythe Park community closer together through planned online and socially distanced activities. The outpouring of enrichment and fun requires hard work and dedication from our community. Each of us at
Blythe Park has different talents and resources that are desperately needed to make our school what it is. Some parents contribute by volunteering in our classrooms, others chair or join a committee that brings something
special to our students. All information about PTA and our events is available on our website, www.blytheparkpta.org. Registration
forms for PTA membership or upcoming events will be posted here with the option to pay online. Please register and look through our events to see if you can volunteer. If you would like to help but are not sure how to go
about it, please contact myself or one of our board members. We are looking forward to an amazing year!
