BLAKE MIDDLE SCHOOL

BLAKE APPEAL PILOT

YOU ASKED……WE LISTENED! 10 DAYS LEFT! We know you are tired of buying and selling unwanted items and volunteering to help make those fundraisers a success. The Blake Appeal Pilot will make things super easy for you and continue to help Blake fund enrichment programs, new technology and an “extreme makeover” for the Blake library. We have 35% participation to date. We hope to have 100% participation by April 1st! We do not want to bring back those old fundraisers!!!

This is all you have to do:

• Click on the link http://medfieldpto.weebly.com/blake.html to make a credit card donation.

OR

• Write a check made payable to Blake Middle School PTO and mail directly to the school at 24 Pound Street or ask your student to drop it off at the main office.

While donations in any amount are welcome, we are suggesting a contribution of $50 per student. It is that easy and you are done for the 2016-2017 school year!
