PLEASE DONATE TODAY TO HELP BELLEVUE STUDENTS
The developments around COVID-19 have put our most vulnerable students and families at risk. The Bellevue Schools Foundation has been asked to release $50,000 for emergency food for 3,500 students who normally rely on their school for nutritious meals. Additionally, the Foundation is paying for counselors that are providing virtual and phone counseling to secondary students facing anxiety and depression.
Thank you in advance for your support!

ADVOCACY NEWS
Dear Parents and Students,
Do you have an issue or concern that affects youth at a state-wide level? PTSA generates our legislative platform at the grassroots level. Any PTA member is encouraged to submit an issue to PTA.
The current legislative issue platform will be replaced at the 2020 Legislative Assembly. Members will adopt a new Top 5 platform including the additional issues that will comprise the “also supported” list. Even if you don't want to make a submission this year, I think you might find the video (Part 1) informative, because all PTA members can make a difference in their schools, communities and state.
Thanks,
ISPTSA Advocacy Chair
