Ms. Bradley
4th Grade Teacher
Hello Families,
The warm breezes are a refreshing reminder of laughter-filled days, the smell of freshly mown grass, and the crystal blue skies above. We can all head into the summer knowing that we showed up each day to do our best. We made it through an extraordinary year well!
As I look forward to this summer, one of my thoughts is what to read. You may be feeling the same way for your young ones. My suggestion is to find a good vacation book to read aloud as a family and never have a kid without a book to read during the glorious lulls of the summer afternoons or under a star-filled sky. Enjoy these moments.
I am pleased to introduce you to our new 4th-grade teacher, Emma Youngerman. Mrs. Youngerman made her way back to Bellevue after taking a jaunt to graduate from Wheaton College. She is a welcomed addition to the BCS faculty at Three Points. You can read more about her below.

I am thrilled to be joining the Three Points community as a fourth-grade teacher! I grew up in Bellevue and this city will always be my home. I graduated from Wheaton College in Illinois with my B.A. in Elementary Education with an Endorsement in teaching English as a Second Language. I taught my first-year post-grad at Rockwell Elementary in First Grade. I married my husband, Mitchell, in summer of 2020. My family and friends come first and foremost in my life, but when I have extra time I love to paint, cook, read books about apologetics, or help plan events at my church. I have a love for learning and a passion for helping others see the joy and value in it. I am so excited to continue growing as an educator and follower of Christ at Bellevue Christian!

From Amber Cass, Three Points Art Teacher
It almost feels surreal to think that we made it through this peculiar school year. Whatever uncertainty or discomfort I may have felt at the beginning of the year has been completely diminished. I am so overjoyed at what a truly remarkable school year it has been!
My Deep Hope is: Through the artmaking process, my students will explore, discover, and embrace what makes them such a unique and special creation by God. We were all blessed with the gift of creativity and while this gift looks different from person to person, it is precious, and it has value. Throughout this school year, I have been collecting a special piece of artwork from each student that I feel expresses their unique talents. I am thrilled to announce that the first end-of-the-year Elementary Art Show is here! Each student’s collected artwork will be featured in the show.
For more information on dates, attendance, and safety protocols, please follow the link here! We hope to see you there!

Dear Parents,
Thank you so much to everyone who has already generously provided a mid-week treat to our wonderful staff! We have heard that it is something they are enjoying and feel loved and cared for by their parent community. Let’s keep encouraging them in this way- if you are willing and able, you may sign up here for a Wednesday to bring in an individually wrapped treat or snack.
The day before the first day of school is an exciting day for students and parents to come meet their new teachers for the school year and see friends they haven't seen over the summer. We like to end this time with an ice cream social. Are you able to help facilitate that event? If you are interested please, email the Three Points Office.

Please enjoy this video from our combined elementary and junior high Spring choral program!
In this virtual concert, you will get to:
- Hear vocal and instrumental selections from each of the three campuses.
- Learn about how teachers have been adjusting the learning process to create meaningful learning experiences in the midst of tricky circumstances.
- Hear from students about what the music means to them.
The elementary music teachers and I hope that this will be a fun and encouraging peek inside the music program. Access it via the link below and feel free to share it with family and friends. Thank you to our students and teachers who participated in this video project.
-Ms. Amy Shockey

Parent Volunteers
We are so excited to be able to welcome parents back to our campus! If you haven't already, please contact Ashley Duran in the Head of School's Office to have a background check, which is required for all volunteers. Her email address is ashley.duran@bellevuechristian.org. Also please remember to check-in at our office before going to the classroom to have your temperature checked. Please only visit the classroom that you are scheduled to volunteer in. Thank you for your help.
Car Chute
Please remember to turn right to Evergreen Point Drive when exiting the Car Chute.
COVID-19
If your child tests positive for COVID-19, please call our office right away at (425) 454-3977. If our office is closed, email threepointsoffice@bellevuechristian.org as soon as possible. Delayed notification complicates contract tracing, an essential step in stopping the spread of the virus. Providing us with information about 1) when symptoms developed, 2) the test date and 3) the results - help us meet our notification requirements to King County Public Health. Thank you for your help in keeping our community safe.

Also, please remember to complete the daily health screening for your child via the Magnus Health app. When a green "GO" pops up, take a screenshot of it and show it to school personnel as you're going through the car chute. Thank you!

Preschool is Spreading Joy!
Our preschool students are blessing those who work hard for their community. They have created cards and presented gifts to Mr. Baker, Mrs. Koorn, and our amazing janitors. Each child had been eager to share their talents and joy as they diligently create and present their treasures. What a joy they are and a blessing they have shared with others.
Mrs. Lowe is also giving her students worship opportunities within Covid protocols. Prekindergartners are creating music and experimenting with instruments. They worship while moving their bodies. Lately, she has added rhythm ribbons!
