CURRENT PTO EVENTS

*VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES*

We have some positions opening up with the graduation of Blanchard 8th graders and parents/students moving on to WA in the fall.  We want to work on projecting the filling of these positions NOW, which ultimately makes everything easier for everyone involved.  NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!  The sooner you raise your hand, the sooner we can help to prepare you for any of these rewarding roles!

PTO Arts and Education Coordinator - Shadow in 2026-2027 

Coordinate the scheduling of the 6 Arts and Education programs for Blanchard/Stonybrook students, attend the events (or solicit a volunteer to attend) - Shadowing in 2026 would fully prepare you for the position in 2027-2028

PTO Communications Coordinator - 2026-2027

Have a pulse on the PTO happenings, update the PTO website (this one) as needed, post on Facebook, email the principal items that need visibility in the Principal's newsletter

These positions do not take a ton of time, (maybe an hour a week to a couple hours per month), but the positions are necessary to maintain the organization.  

Now is a great time to get involved- WE NEED YOU!

Teacher Appreciation Coffee Cart

On September 26th, after a long school day followed by Back-to-School Night presentations, Blanchard PTO was at the school early this morning to give the teachers a pick-me-up of specialty coffee and teas from the Westford Bakery. 

Back by popular demand, we held another coffee Cart on April 16th for Blanchard Teachers!  

Special thanks to the parents that helped to set this event up, and those that helped deliver the beverages this morning.

Further thanks to Blanchard families that have able to donate to the No-Fuss Fundraiser! These small tokens of appreciation would not be possible without support of your PTO! If you haven't and are able, we hope you'll consider a donation today!

Join today (click here) to be a part of our team!  

It doesn't happen without volunteers!
