Amity Host Families Needed for 2020-2021



It's that time of year again!  We are looking for 18+ host families for our interns in the 2020-2021 school-year.  As a host family you gain a new, unique friendship and learning experience by welcoming an intern from a Spanish speaking country into your home.  Additionally, your child will benefit from extra practice and help with their Spanish language skills.  

There is flexibility to the hosting duration with 13 week and half-year options. This will allow us to make better family/intern matches as well as potentially improve the experience for both interns and families.  If you are interested, please refer to the   FAQ page  for more information, then complete the  Amity Host Family Application.

Please email any questions to  amity@puestadelsolpta.org .

Bellevue Schools Foundation

The Bellevue Schools Foundation is a non-profit organization that raises private funds to support our schools. 

Since our inception, we have raised over $30M for our school district. Public funding in the United States is not enough to guarantee that our students receive a top-notch education. 

The Bellevue Schools Foundation helps make up the difference by asking parents, local b usinesses, and community members to support our schools.
