On behalf of Blythe Park PTA and staff, we want to thank all of the parents who came in to read to our kids throughout the year. The library is closed for checkouts and all books should be turned in as soon as possible. There is one more task at hand and that’s reading the shelves (checking to be sure books are shelved correctly). We will be doing this Wednesday, June 1st from 8:30-2:45pm; please feel free to stop in anytime for as little or as long as you are able to. If we do not finish, we will finish Friday, June 3rd. Light refreshments will be provided and small children are welcome to sit and read while you are volunteering. Please feel free to contact Julie Laube with any questions.

The Gail Goletz ACES Walk will be held this Friday,May 20th at 11:25am.
Project ACES (All Children Exercise Simultaneously) was created by physical education teacher Len Saunders in 1989 as a method of motivating children to exercise. Nationally, ACES takes place on the first Wednesday in May as part of National Physical Fitness and Sports Month along with National Physical Education Week. Since 1989, millions of children from all over the world exercise together on this day to promote proper health and fitness habits. Gail Goletz brought this idea to Blythe Park with the annual ACES walk. We choose a day in May (not necessarily the first Wednesday, but rather a day that works for the Blythe Park schedule) for all the students to participate in a one mile walk around the Blythe Park neighborhood during the lunch hour. When Mrs. Goletz retired a couple of years ago, we decided to honor her legacy of promoting fitness among students by naming our walk the Gail Goletz ACES Walk.
Please come out and join the kids in the annual walk on Friday!
