The PTSA asks that parents and all members please bring one or more canned foods, which we are collecting, but there is also a need for items for the Montgomery County Coalition for the Homeless (see next message). Donate, if you can. If you have questions, please contact Robina Barlow at president@blakeptsa.org.
