Pizza With A Purpose
The program is the brainchild of Career Pathways, an Eastside Pathways collaborative, whose vision is career success for all Bellevue students, especially those from underserved populations
Black and Hispanic students at Interlake High School had an unusual lunch on November 29. There were pizza and cookies, but there was also a purpose - to give students the chance to learn about different career and life paths of professionals of color and ask questions. The first "Pizza with a Purpose" brought together 14 mentors and 26 students for a highly engaged interaction and discussion around careers - choices and opportunities. Read more

Kindering's Parent-Child Home Program Has Openings For Families
PCHP offers a wonderful opportunity for families in Bellevue, Redmond, and Kirkland to prepare their young children for school even before preschool. It is
a free, early learning home visiting program for low-income families with 1.5-2.5-year-olds. It pairs families with Home Visitors who come to the home twice weekly for two years. They bring a free book or toy each week to explore early literacy, STEM, social skills, and to support parents as their child's most important teacher. Research shows that children involved in PCHP are better prepared for preschool and later have higher test scores and even better high school graduation rates.
