Bellaire Bugle

Our bobcats are ready to join together for some family fun! Join us for a family engagement event at Bellaire on the 27th, 4:30-5:30 PM. Bellaire is hosting a Loteria where families can win family engagement prizes.

The HEF drive for 2025 has begun and will end on March 3rd. The district is engaging in a friendly competition with schools on the south and north of Military. We can use your help in competing to win to raise the most money for our graduating seniors wanting to continue their education beyond high school. Below is a community contribution form you can turn in to our campus HEF representative, Ms. Therese Jimenez by March 3rd. We will also have copies available on campus for your convenience.

Harlandale ISD,

We’re nearing the end of our Harlandale Education Foundation (HEF) Employee Fund Drive! This annual initiative is a great way for us to come together as a District and support our students.

2025 Fund Drive Details:
Deadline: March 3
Objective: Raise funds for student scholarships
Incentives:

• North vs. South Competition: This year, we’re splitting into two teams based on Military Drive. The side that raises more will earn jean privileges for April plus a special HEF tumbler!

Last year, we raised $67,369.20. But with a District as generous as ours, we know we can surpass that!

How to Participate:
Forms are available at www.harlandale.net/hef. Remember, every contribution—no matter the amount—helps create opportunities for our students.

Now... who will take the lead this year?
