About Blaine PTA

We are a group of elected volunteers dedicated to the students of Blaine Elementary.  We strive to uphold the National PTA values: a powerful voice for all children, a relevant resource for families and our community, and a strong advocate for the education and well-being of every child.

Specifically we support teacher/parent communications through the weekly newsletter, room parent program, Facebook, Twitter, and even the official Blaine website.

Your Blaine PTA is responsible for many programs such as Blaineflix, Blainepalooza, Safeties, Teacher Appreciation Luncheon/Week, First Day Coffee, Middle School Clubs, Blaine Organic Garden (BOG), Book Fairs, Community Outreach, and much more.  View our past accomplishments!

You can support Blaine PTA by joining as an annual or lifetime member.  You can also support PTA programming through Box Tops, Label for Education, iGive, Target, and Staples Rewards.
