All District 96 families are invited to attend this community event to be held at Ames School – all the PTO/PTAs have been asked to help spread the word…
We are living in a global community and sparking our children’s interest in other cultural norms, values, beliefs and languages will set them up towards a path of LEADERSHIP AND ENGAGEMENT. We have great resources within our own community. Let’s discover these hidden riches that may have a profound effect on the future and welfare of our community. This forum will be held at Ames School on Monday, November 30th from 6:30-8pm. For more information, contact Pearl Cervantes @ (708) 447-0759.

November fitness calendars are due this Wednesday December 2nd! Don’t forget to turn in your forms so that you will get your paw charm! Remember that the class with the highest percentage of students turning in sheets will earn a free day in PE!
Our next Wellness Wednesday will be December 9th and our guest will be Trish Kaufman who will amaze the students with her roller derby skills! She will bring skates for students in 3rd-5th grade and they will get to try roller skating! All 3rd-5th graders must bring their own bike helmet to PE on December 9th in order to be allowed to roller skate! The younger students will be using scooter boards rather than roller skates so they do not need to bring a helmet. Please contact Jill Glawe with any questions!

Today is the last day to purchase your Blythe Park School Pride T-Shirt.
The Blythe Park Staff and Student Council are teaming up to promote school pride while raising funds for a great cause. All proceeds from the T-shirt sales will go towards sponsoring a child from a poverty-stricken area of Ghana. You may place an order on-line (see below), at the table in the book fair or with the hard copy form attached.
When a child is sponsored, everything changes for that child.
- He or She gets to attend school
- He or She gets a hot lunch everyday, in some cases her only meal of the day.
- He or she is given immunizations.
BUY SOME SHIRTS AND HELP A CHILD! The Blythe Park School T-Shirt Fundraiser promotes school pride and educational opportunities for all children.
Each t-shirt will have the following on the front and the back:
