Distance Learning - Bellaire@Home

Included on that web page is our daily schedule, log-in information for all of our platforms, contact tech support form and even more. It's a great site to visit weekly for important updates. You can access DistanceLearningBHS here.

Donated Food to Hospitals
Bellaire students, Bryce Liu, Omar Busaidy and Jeffrey Chuong. Jeffrey had previously gone to Bellaire HS before transferring to the Texas Academy of Math and Science (TAMS) this year. We started a nonprofit organization called Food For Heroes during this pandemic. Food For Heroes is based in Houston and is dedicated to supporting local restaurants and COVID-19 frontline workers. We coordinate deliveries with restaurants to send fresh meals to our tireless workers on the frontlines.
We're three high school friends that wanted to help out our community. As the children of healthcare workers, we understand the strain that this pandemic has caused our hospital staff. Many workers in the Houston Medical Center are working long hours everyday in the midst of this dangerous pandemic with virtually no time to get lunch or dinner. Our parents are so worried about the health of their patients and slowing the spread of COVID-19 that they often don't have time to focus on food. This story is unfortunately common among thousands of Houston nurses, PCAs, and other ICU workers during this difficult time.
We have taken it upon ourselves to order from local Houston restaurants with donations we collect for hospitals we're connected to, like Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center and Memorial Hermann Southwest. In the past month, we have fundraised over $4000 and donated over 100 meals.
