Each of the five schools in our district is fortunate to have a very active PTA.

The PTAs in our schools provide so many services that it would be impossible to list them all. PTA members recruit and coordinate volunteers, provide enrichment opportunities, raise money for many worthy projects, keep parents informed through school newsletters, publish student writing, sponsor parent education activities, help orient incoming pupils and parents, provide refreshments at meetings, and assist staff members in a multitude of ways.

The five individual school PTAs are also coordinated through an umbrella group called the BH-BL PTA Council (see below), which organizes efforts to work on joint needs and projects.
