Bellerive Bulletin
October 18, 2026
We are getting close! Bellerive families have now raised $6,156 toward our $7,000 Champions for Children goal. Because we reached our second milestone, students will enjoy a video on the big screen in the cafeteria during lunch this week!
Champions for Children is the Bellerive PTO’s annual fundraiser supporting experiences for all students, including author visits, student clubs, Field Day, field trip transportation, school picnics, and much more.
So far, 21% of Bellerive families have donated, and we would love to reach 50% participation this year. If giving is right for your family, please consider making a gift of any amount. Every gift helps us move closer to our final milestone and the big reward: a Student Choice Day in PE! We hope to reach our goal before Fall Break next Friday.
You may donate through the Bellerive PTO’s Venmo or PayPal accounts or send a check to school with your student.
Thank you for supporting Bellerive!
Club assignments were sent home earlier this month.
The notification papers included the name and date of the club(s) your child will be participating in.
Reminders:
- Please DO NOT drop off students before 7:55 am as coverage is not available.
- Students will be expected to follow all Bellerive behavior expectations to remain in before-school clubs.
- Attendance is important. Because many students wish to participate, if your child misses more than three sessions, we may need to offer their spot to another student.
- No clubs will be held the week of November 16 due to conferences.
- The last week of clubs will be February 22, 2027.
If you have any questions about clubs, please email Ashley Jelovic at ajelovic2@parkwayschools.net.
Wear Orange on Wednesday
Bellerive will join schools across Parkway and SSD in celebrating Unity Day on Wednesday, October 21. Unity Day reminds us that small actions can help every student and staff member feel welcomed, valued, and included. Wear orange to show your support for kindness, acceptance, inclusion, and belonging.
Library Resource Shared by Mrs. Zahnweh:
Literacy Leap is a new online learning tool available through the St. Louis County Library that makes it easy to work directly with your child on phonics and reading skills. No teaching experience is required. Guide your child through personalized 20-minute lessons, with built-in videos and teaching scripts to help you support your child's learning. This learning tool is recommended for ages kindergarten through fourth grade. Learn how to use Literacy Leap at this upcoming virtual workshop on Wednesday, October 28 at 6:30 pm.
Student-led conferences are the week of November 16, and conference night is Thursday, November 19. The online sign-up link will be published in next week's Bellerive Bulletin.
On Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 9:30 am, Bellerive students will attend an assembly about Veterans Day. The theme of our assembly is “Thank You for Your Service.”
If you or someone in your family is a veteran or currently active in the military, we would like to invite you to be honored as our guest. Veterans and active military will have a special seat at this assembly. We would like to honor you and give you our thanks. Due to space constraints, we are limiting guests to veterans and immediate family members.
Any veteran or active military personnel who would like to attend should complete this Google form (click this link or use the QR code) by Thursday, November 5.
If you have any questions, please email Aaron Watson at awatson1@parkwayschools.net.
