NOMINATIONS NEEDED!

Each year our BHS PTSA recognizes two individuals for making outstanding efforts on behalf of our students. The Golden Acorn Award is presented to a school or community volunteer in recognition of their dedication and service to children and youth. The Outstanding Educator Award recognizes individuals who make significant contributions that enhance the education of children.

We need to hear from you! Do you know a school volunteer or teacher who has had a significant impact on your student during the past school year? If so, please send an email to presidents@bellevuehighptsa.com to nominate this person for the Golden Acorn (outstanding volunteer) or Outstanding Educator (super teacher) Award. Include their name and what they’ve done to make an impact on your student or why you think they deserve to be recognized. Award winners will be recognized at our final General Membership meeting in early June.

BOOSTERS NEEDED for BHS Theater: 2021-2022 School Year

The Theater Boosters are in need of TWO key positions this coming fall: President and Treasurer. If your student will be in Theater next year, NOW is the time to join to be a part of this fun and supportive community. We will train you so it's easy-peasy! We cannot function as a Booster organization without filling these positions. Please contact the current Booster President: Courtney Bailey (courtneyinseattle@hotmail.com) for more information. All interested parties are welcome - even just to be a supporting Booster member (not necessarily Pres. or Secty).

Graduation Leis Fundraiser ($35)

Each year, the BHS Orchestra Booster Club holds a Graduation Leis fundraiser. Your purchase will help support the BHS orchestra by providing sheet music, instruments, field trips and much more. These strings of golden yellow plumeria have become the must-have accessory for our graduating students' big day, so don't delay placing your order.

Please visit the BHS Orchestra website http://www.bellevueorchestra.org/lei-sales for more info and to order. The deadline to order is Monday June 1. Pickup of Leis will be the morning of June 25th at T-Mobile Park prior to the Graduation Ceremony.

The Orchestra Booster Club is seeking parents to participate in our monthly meetings currently held via Zoom. In addition, we are searching for an individual to assist with tech (website maintenance, etc) and someone to possibly fill the secretary position. Several parents on our current board have graduating seniors and are completing their term. If interested, please email Michael Linscott at Silvaviator@mac.com
