Welcome to the Blindbrook PTA. We are an active and enthusiastic partner in the Blindbrook educational system, serving grades K thru 12. The Blindbrook PTA offers family-oriented activities, assembly programs, after school activities, in-school volunteers and both student and parent education and support programs. We endeavor to provide our parents, teachers and administrators with all the support needed to meet your children's educational goals.

Volunteer. Parent-volunteers are the backbone of the PTA. We need your help whether you can give an hour or a day; have a special talent or just want to have fun and meet some great people. You can make the difference. Take a look at the opportunities listed below. If each person gives a little bit, the difference will be huge! If you want more information or you can help, just give the person below a call. Everyone's phone number in in the Dial-A-Friend
