Blake High School PTSA

“Potluck and a Project”

NAACP Parents’ Council December  Meeting
Wednesday, December 16th
6:30 – 8:00 p.m. - Blake HS,  Cafeteria

In the spirit of the holiday season, please join us for the NAACP Parents’ Council Meeting on December 16th as we share with those who are less fortunate.  We will be having a Pot Luck dinner and would ask families to bring a dish to share – main course, sides, and/or desserts.

In addition, we are asking families to bring items to donate to the Greentree Shelter, a transitional home for homeless families, primarily children with single mothers, that provides the basic support systems necessary for families to rebuild their lives.

Contact Bobette Banks at threebmeATaol.com or Sharon Mosley-Ramsey at alljazz105ATaol.com for more information. All are welcome!

For more events and event details, see our PTSA Calendar page.

The first After Prom committee meeting was held on Oct. 5th. Watch this space for announcements about future After Prom committee meetings and events.

The committee is in charge of the After Prom, which will be held at Dave and Busters on May 15th. Committee member positions include Decorations, Fundraising, After Prom Activities, Prizes, T-shirts and others. In addition, the committee raises money to support the After Prom through such events as dine-outs at local restaurants and after-school pizza sales on Tuesdays.

If you were not able to come to the meeting but would like to help in any way please contact Maura McMullen (McMullens2ATverizonDOTnet) or Diane Bush at (dbush10892ATverizonDOTnet).

Be sure to check out our new online calendar, which gives you a whole year’s worth of PTSA and related school events. You can access it from the Calendar button on the left.

Because the calendar is through Google, it offers several useful features:

• You can click on an event and get more information. For instance, after-school pizza sales begin on Sept. 8th. If you click on the link, it offers this description: “Pizza is sold after school on Tuesdays during the school year, starting Sept. 8th, to benefit After Prom.” [Note: we'll add more details as events near and as the school year proceeds.]
• You can print off a calendar for each month, using the Print button at the top.
• If you have a Google account, you can import this calendar into your personal Google calendar. Click on the Google Calendar icon at the bottom right of the calendar, sign into your Google account, and when prompted “Would you like to add calendar: PTSA Calendar?” click “Yes.”
• You can also add individual events to your personal Google calendar by clicking “copy to my calendar” at the bottom of the description of the event.
• For events where there is an address given, such as After Prom, you can click on the Map link to see a map of where the event is taking place.

If you have an event that you would like to add to the PTSA Calendar, please contact Beth Blevins at: vp@blakeptsa.org.
