PTSA volunteer opportunities
Would you like to help the PTSA but can’t make a regular commitment to join a committee? Watch this space for occasional announcements for volunteer opportunities. We occasionally need parents to help stuff envelopes, sell pizza, or set up for PTSA events, etc., all requiring only a few hours or your time. It’s a great way to help your school and meet other Blake parents.
