Congratulations again to all students who earned Wolverine Guard for the 2019-20 school year. Our plan had been to distribute the WG certificates in person when school reopened this fall. However, since in-person school is not happening yet and we are not sure when it will be, we decided that we will distribute the certificates digitally. All 2019-20 WG recipients should have already received an email with your certificate attached. In a few cases we ended up sending the certificates to parents/guardians because we had trouble accessing student email addresses. If any 2019-20 WG recipient has not received their certificate either directly or through a parent/guardian, please reach out to Annie Roth or Nancy Huenefeld Gese, 2020-21 WG co-chairs, at wolverineguard@bellevuehighptsa.com .

TEDxYouth@BellevueHighSchool is the only youth-led TEDx chapter in Bellevue. We aim to spark nuanced discussions in the world via inspirational and educational presentations. TEDxYouth@BellevueHighSchool was founded on the belief that young peoples’ voices are worthy of being heard, and to give young people a platform for change. We offer a platform that encourages youth to raise their voices confidently.

This year’s theme is The World Is In Our Hands. Our event is an ongoing, virtual event where speakers of all ages and backgrounds present their opinions on global issues while also developing hope and dreams for the future. We hope to inspire our community through meaningful, in-depth discussions. Notable speakers include Taylor Jones, Associate planner with the City of Fife, Mark Perez, Author and Speaker, and Jonathon DeYoe, author of the 2017 Amazon Bestseller Mindful Money.

Videos of the speakers’ presentations are uploaded on TEDxYouth@BellevueHighSchool’s Youtube Channel (@TEDxYouth Bellevue High School) on a frequent basis. One presenter, Sidhya Ganesh, commented, “It was an amazing event, giving a talk at the TEDxYouth BellevueHighSchool event!” after her speech on making compassion a passion.  “I am so enjoying the channel! The variety of perspectives and interesting topics has me hooked, I’ll definitely be subscribing,” says Bellevue High School faculty Ms. Stevens after watching the presentations currently on our Youtube channel.
