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).

SOUP 4 SIMPSON FUNDRAISER |
|
Good news!! The Soup 4 Simpson fundraiser deadline has been EXTENDED, so there is still plenty of time
to donate!
This fundraiser honors Hunter Simpson, a former Bellevue student, who tragically passed away in 2005 at the age of 18. In his first and only semester of college, Hunter saved money on his meal plan everyday by eating only cans of soup for lunch and dinner. At the end of the semester, he selflessly used all the money he had saved to buy food for the New Horizons Teen Homeless Shelter in Seattle.
Every spring since, Soup 4 Simpson has honored Hunter’s legacy by raising money for New Horizons just
as he did. We hope you’ll follow Hunter’s example and consider donating your “lunch money” HERE before Friday, May 7th , to support this wonderful cause. Thank you!

What is this? An entire week to hype up our seniors with special messages to the students and drawings each day in which ALL seniors will have the opportunity to be selected!
What do we need? Donated items (gift cards, small giveaways, swag, or specialty items). The more items we have, the more opportunities we will have to select more students.

FREE CAMP 4 KIDS - VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! |
|
We are looking for high schooler camp teachers for this summer! You can give back to the community and receive volunteer hours!
We, Free Camp 4 Kids, are a non-profit organization aiming to help younger kids experience fun and develop passion during this unprecedented time. Free Camp 4 Kids offers all students the ability to partake in engaging classes without agonizing over budgetary weight.
Over spring winter break, we hosted classes such as singing, robotics, culinary, book club, and more. We’ve had a total of 375 students since the past sessions as well as an additional 18 classes. Because of the tremendous achievement and positive feedback, we are planning on continuing this camp during this summer. We’ll be hosting in person classes, such as tennis, soccer, football, and many more. However, we need more teachers in order to do so! We are looking for high schoolers who are passionate about building a community and who might want to share their talent and love in topics such as the ones listed above, or anything else. All the way from ballet, instruments, or even cooking, we are open to anything! Below is an application for high schoolers interested in participating in the online summer camp. Keep in mind, you can earn volunteer hours for this!
Applications are due on May 12th. Camps will start on June 28th.
I trust that we would all be able to cooperate in bringing fun and provide an excellent experience for kids!
Thank you so much for your help,
Free Camp 4 Kids
