Join us on February 20th from 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm for Trivia Night.
We can’t wait to have you join us for a FREE fun-filled night of Disney Trivia hosted by Dan with Chicago Trivia Guys. Your family has a chance to win these prizes – spirit wear, t-shirts, and magnets!
- The questions will cover all things Disney: theme parks, animated movies, live-action movies, Disney Channel Series, Disney Channel Original movies, and Pixar. Disney has owned Winnie the Pooh since the 1960s and The Muppets since 2004, so there might be a question about one of those.
- There will be a question about movies that have appeared on Disney+.
- There will be no questions about the Marvel Cinematic Universe or Star Wars. Those are separate themes in themselves.
Click on the Signup Genius button to sign up!
Anyone can join the 50/50 raffle! Tickets are $5.00 each. Feel free to share the raffle with friends, family, and neighbors! Please let them know the scheduled trivia event is only for Blythe park families.

Martha Ryan-Toye will be attending our next PTA Meeting to explain how the test works and answer any questions you may have regarding the saliva testing program. While this screening is not mandatory, we do believe that high levels of participation increase our overall sense of safety in the schools. We currently have approximately 50-65% of our students participating (with some variability between schools). If you have not already done so, please consider submitting a consent form and participating in this screening process.
We have attached the waiver for you to send to the school, should you want to be a part of this program. A zoom link to the meeting will be posted before Tuesday, January 19th, 2021.
