Welcome!

The Bolton PTA is a group of parents and teachers who work together to benefit education in our town. We believe that educating children is truly a joint effort between teachers, administrators, parents, and all town residents who generously support Bolton Public Schools in so many ways.

We invite you to browse our site to learn more about our PTA -- and perhaps to consider ways in which you can get involved in helping to support and promote excellence in education.

BubbleMania is coming to Bolton Center School on Friday, May 16!

Casey Carle will present BubbleMania:  Effervescent Entertainment!  Comedy with a Drip!  It’s an extremely unique program combining high energy entertainment with artistic achievement.  BubbleMania is loaded with visual comedy, quick wit, big band swing music and the untamed, often unbelievable qualities and beauty of spherical liquids.  Casey’s creations grow from intricate and imaginative bubble art forms to “trapping” people inside bubbles!  Tickets are
$6 person.  To purchase your tickets, please send checks payable to Bolton PTA in to teachers marked “BublleMania.” 

 
BCS Variety Show is Back!

The Bolton Center School PTA proudly presents “The ‘70s, When (Some of) Our Parents Were Young” on the BCS stage, Friday, May 2 and Saturday, May 3 beginning at 7:00 pm.  With over 175 BCS students taking the stage, you are sure to see a familiar face (or two!).   This year’s production will help you reminisce all the wonderful trends of the ‘70s.

Tickets
Tickets are $5 per person, and order forms have been sent home with BCS students. If you did not receive one, additional copies are available at the BCS office.  Click here to print a copy

Video
Celebration Video will once again make a professional video of the show available for sale.  Along with the entire show, the video will include an individual portrait of each performer at the end.  This is something your family will watch over and over!

Order forms will be handed out to show performers and will be available in the school office. Video orders will also be taken in the lobby on show nights.

Flowers
Unfortunately, at this time, we do not have anyone who is available to sell flowers in the lobby for show nights.  If you know of anyone in the floral business who might be interested, please contact Alison Romkey.  Doors open at 6:00 pm on both evenings.  If there are seats still available, tickets will be sold at the door.

If you have any questions regarding the show, please contact Alison Romkey, 645-9702, amromkey@emilyscottages.com.
