Why join the PTSA?

 

At BLMS, the PTSA works to enrich the academic and social environment of the students and staff of our school. The PTSA contributes both financially and with volunteers to support staff and school activities. We support students in their projects such as the ASB magazine drive and holiday gift card drive and the annual Generation Joy humanitarian project.The PTSA also organizes its own activities such as the Back to School BBQ and Bingo Night. We hold the book fair, sponsor the Reflections program and sell popcorn at lunch. We also create the directory and this website and put out a monthly newsletter. The PTSA provides a link between parents and the Issaquah Schools Foundation and the community.

 

         As part of a larger organization, the BLMS PTSA influences the state PTA and its work on legislative issues that directly affect your child. As a member, you are also part of the National PTA, the largest child advocacy organization in the nation.The National PTA speaks on behalf of children – in schools and communities – to organizations that make decisions affecting children.The larger our numbers, the more power we have in advocating for children.

Pass the Hat

The BLMS PTSA raises money through donations. Pass the Hat is our only fundraiser of the year. All the money goes straight to the school in the form of Bucks for Bulldogs staff grants or to pay for programs such as staff appreciation and Reflections. Your support makes this happen. To donate, see the Pass the Hat section on the membership form. We are a 501(c) (3) charitable organization and your donation to Pass the Hat is tax deductible.

 

Matching Funds are an important part of our fundraising. Please let us know when you fill out the membership form if your company offers a matching funds program. We will contact you with information on how to direct the matching contribution to us.
