Every donation, no matter the size, will help. Donate today and Make an Impact!
All donors will be recognized on the PTSA Honor Roll. Gifts up to $299 will be listed on the Silver Honor Roll. Gifts of $300 or greater will be listed on the Gold Honor List and gifts of $1000 or more will be listed on the Wolverines Honor Roll.

HUGE THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR
OCTOBER STAFF APPRECIATION LUNCHEON
|
|
Dear BHS Families,
On Oct. 13th, last Wednesday, BHS PTSA hosted another successful Teacher’s Appreciation Luncheon. Due to pandemic concerns, we ordered bento boxes for our teachers & staff. Originally, we had only planned to order 'lunch special' from the menu, but with your amazingly generous donations, we were actually able to prepare a really 'special lunch' for our lovely teachers & staff. They happily enjoyed a feast of sushi, teriyaki, cake, soup and fruits. We appreciate the sponsorship by our PTSA. Special thank you goes to parents who supported us financially and volunteers who facilitated this event.

THE GOODWILL TRUCK IS COMING ON SATURDAY October 30th!
Bellevue High School Lower Parking Lot
Saturday, October 30th, 9 am to when the 2 trucks are full or 11 am.
Come early!
Help the Bellevue High School Band Boosters raise money by cleaning out your closets and garage. Goodwill is bringing a truck to BHS on Saturday, October 30th to accept donation of used goods. Normally, Goodwill does not pay when you donate your stuff, but they have a special program for schools. The more trucks we can fill, the more money to support the Bellevue High Band (and you'll get a donation tax receipt).
Please wear a mask and be prepared to help unload your stuff from your car.
This is a fundraiser for the Bellevue High Band Boosters.

The Bellevue High Class of 2022 Parent Booster Committee is hard at work planning the 2022 All-Night Senior Grad Party. The Grad Party is not school-sponsored.
