GOLD ACORN
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 mzhou12@yahoo.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.

Attention Seniors!
Go Aloha for 2022
{Lei Fundraiser Coming Soon}
|
|
The Bellevue Orchestra Booster Club will be selling Leis for the graduating class of 2022. As in years past, wearing a Lei at the BHS graduation ceremony has become a long standing tradition. These strings of golden yellow plumeria have become the must-have accessory for our graduating students' big day. Not only is it a way for seniors to spruce up their cap and gown, but it is also a way to help give back to the Bellevue High School Orchestra. The Orchestra Boosters’ Lei fundraiser helps contribute to scholarships, the purchase of instruments and sheet music, and provides funding for field trips.
As we gather the final information from our Hawaiian store liaison, please watch for pricing, how to purchase, and other information in the coming weeks via the Blast and by visiting our website at www.BellevueOrchestra.org.

"We all come to the theatre with baggage. The baggage of our daily lives, the baggage of our problems, the baggage of our tragedies, the baggage of being tired. It doesn't matter what age you are. But if our hearts get opened and released -- well that is what theatre can do, and does sometimes, and everyone is thankful when that happens."- Vanessa Redgrave

WOLVERINE GUARD 2021-2022 |
|
If you are working on Wolverine Guard hours, make sure to get your applications and forms with hours and signature forms in by the end of the day of April 30th! WG is a Bellevue High PTSA sponsored award that recognizes students who perform 100+ hours of community service in the 12-month period from May 1st to April 30th of each school year. Students who complete the WG requirements earn a certificate of recognition and who get WG two years during high school, get a special tassel at graduation.
Make sure all of your volunteer hour forms are signed by the person supervising the activity and an email/phone number for that person.
As a reminder: The PTSA WG program is separate from the Bellevue School District's volunteer hours requirement for graduation. However, hours that are earned to meet graduation requirements may also be used to meet WG requirements. You will need to download WG forms off of our website to both record your hours (and get supervisor’s signatures!) and the WG Application form. Thank you to those students who are supporting people through giving your time and energy. You do make a difference!
Please note that Wolverine Guard hours are subject to approval. Usually, volunteer hours need to be done for an organization with 501(c)(3) status.
