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!

This year, we will teach you all the basics of machine learning theory, and then you will code it in a club project. This project will aim to help students and staff around the school, and will be implemented firsthand. There will also be guest speakers with years of practical knowledge that will talk about how they have used machine learning in their workspace. No prior programming or machine learning knowledge is required, but Python knowledge will be helpful. Meetings will be every Monday from 3:00-4:00, in room 1127. See you there!
