Blake High School PTSA

The Blake Blue Note will now be distributed primarily online.  A limited number of copies will be printed and available for pick-up at Blake for those families who prefer receiving a paper copy.  By going largely paperless, receiving the Blue Note becomes more timely for everyone and will save thousands of dollars in supplies and postage, as well as countless hours printing and labeling the newsletter.

The Blue Note will continue to be distributed via EubieMail.  The most recent Blue Note, along with past issues, is available here at the Blake High School PTSA website.  Be sure to visit the PTSA page for the latest news about Blake PTSA and how you can contribute to the school, community affairs, and your child’s education.

Welcome to the Blake PTSA website. Please email Communications VP, Edith Bullard, at ebcreate@verizon.net, if you have any suggestions, comments, or announcements to add to this site.
