Dear Bellerive Families,


We had a great Veterans Day assembly last week. Our students did a wonderful job, and it was a meaningful morning for our whole school. A big thank you to the veterans in our community who joined us. We appreciate you being here and are grateful for your service.


As we approach Thanksgiving break, I am looking forward to seeing the kindness, gratitude, and joy that always shine through at Bellerive. It is a wonderful time to pause and appreciate our community.


In partnership,

Joey Kneer

If you are having a picture taken as a RETAKE, please make sure your student returns his/her package in its entirety, including the package insert sheet, to the photographer on retake day. (Feel free to attach a note to describe what you’d like Wagner to do differently.) Please let your child's classroom teacher know if you are requesting a retake!

Honey is a Got Your Six Pet Therapy Support Dog that will be visiting Bellieve School this year. This is her 3rd year of visiting the schools and departments in the Parkway School District. She is trained to serve and provide pet therapy to local area residents in nursing homes, hospitals, schools, public libraries, and even funeral homes. Got Your Six Support Dogs Organization is based in Maryville, Illinois. The organization is committed to providing specialized service dogs to veterans and first responders suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and other traumas without any costs. Their mission is to help men and women regain their lives through the healing power of dogs. For more information, please check out their website at https://gotyoursixsupportdogs.org/.


Honey and her owner look forward to visiting your students on Monday, November 24th, in the morning. Her team will be working alongside the school nurse to make sure that they do not enter any rooms where students are allergic or have a fear of dogs. Honey's personal goal is to provide smiles on people's faces and keep kids safe.
