Dear BHS Families,
Happy New Year!
A new semester has started, and we would like to invite you to join BHS PTSA.
This school year our goal is to have 600 PTSA memberships. Until today we still need 160(a lot!) more families to sign up to reach our goal.

INTRODUCING THE NEW BHS ORCHESTRA WEB SITE |

Introducing the new orchestra website!!
We are THANKFUL to unveil our new ORCHESTRA website. We've got a new look, full of features for orchestra students and family.

The 2022-23 Wolverine Guard Program is going strong! We already have received applications and hours for some students. For those who aren’t familiar with it, 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.
For current guidelines, rules and required forms for WG 2022-23, please go to the BHS PTSA website, Wolverine Guard Program.
A few ideas for volunteer service with links below:
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!

HOMETOWNTICKETING HOME EVENT PURCHASES
FOR 2022-23 BELLEVUE ATHLETICS
|
|
Hello Wolverine Basketball, Gymnastics, and Wrestling families;
Through Hometownticketing, we have created season passes for all of the HOME games we will host this year. This will allow only an initial surcharge being applied to the purchase of the passes. Additionally, the price of the total number of games/passes to be used is also discounted by 10% (example – 10 game pass at $7 per would be $70, minus 10% is now $63 plus surcharge from HTT). This will help balance out the surcharge total and it is only applied once at initial purchase.
This is for HOME games only. Each school we visit OUTSIDE of the BSD will have their individual management for ticket purchasing.
Wrestling has THREE home matches this winter season so the 6 Game PASS might be an option for parents to consider if they are both attending the matches. Gymnastics has TWO home meets so individual tickets might be the best option.
Bellevue High School Girls Basketball have 9 NINE HOME games so our Flex Pass options are:
Adult 18 game flex pass $116.40
Adult 9 game flex pass $59.70
K – 8 - 18 game flex pass $84
K – 8 - 9 game flex pass $43.40
Bellevue High School Boys Basketball have 6 SIX HOME games so our Flex Pass options are:
Adult 12 game flex pass $78.60
Adult 6 game flex pass $40.80
K – 8 – 12 game flex pass $57
K – 8 – 6 game flex pass $30
Individual game tickets will also still be sold to accommodate visiting home and away fans, as well as visiting students and youth accompanying their families.
