THE GOODWILL TRUCK IS COMING ON SATURDAY Sept. 17th!
Bellevue High School Lower Parking Lot
Saturday, Sept 17th, 2 pm – 4:45 pm or when the 2 trucks are full.
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, Sept. 17th to accept donations 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).
You can bring almost everything (OLD TVs, COMPUTERS, SMALL ELECTRONICS, RIPPED CLOTHING, BROKEN TOYS, etc. - what Goodwill can’t sell to the public, they sell to scrap dealers). Please note that items CANNOT be any bigger than an end table. Additional exclusions at https://evergreengoodwill.org/donate-goods/donation-guidelines
This is a fundraiser for the Bellevue High Band Boosters

Welcome back everyone! The Bellevue Theater program has a packed year with plays, musicals, black box shows and much more. All of this culminates in a trip to perform at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival next summer. This is a huge opportunity as very few high schools get invited to this international event.
All Theater Parent Fringe Festival Meeting - Tuesday, September 20th
If your student is planning or interested in attending Fringe next Summer, join us in the black box at 7pm on September 20th. We will be sharing critical information on dates, costs, and logistics as well as general information about the program and trip.
Bellevue Theater Booster Club - We need your help
Bellevue Theater is an extraordinary program with an extremely talented set of actors and crew. Mr Kline has truly built one of the strongest programs in the United States. We need your help supporting these great young adults -- especially as we prepare for the Fringe Festival this year. We have openings for officers and more importantly need your volunteer time. Please email marc.whitten@outlook.com with your interest.
