Hello Bellevue staff, students, and families,

As we wrap up another fantastic week here in Bellevue, I want to thank everyone who continues to pour their time, talent, and heart into making our schools great places to be.

This week, I had the chance to visit both buildings. I saw students engaged in their learning and staff going above and beyond to support our students. Whether it was a classroom project, a hallway conversation, a lunchroom high-five, or an after-school activity, the purpose of our schools are real and it’s contagious.

I also want to thank our student athletes, performers, and club participants who continue to represent Bellevue with pride, grit, and sportsmanship. Your efforts matter, and we’re all cheering you on!

To our staff, your passion and dedication make a difference every single day. To our families, your support and involvement help us build schools where every student can be successful. And to our students, you are why we do this, and we couldn’t be prouder of how you show up, try hard, and care for one another.

Let’s keep the momentum going and make Bellevue the community we all believe in.

Have a restful weekend—you’ve earned it.

​"When you're climbing a mountain, you look up, you never look back. Complacency is something that everyone who has any level of success must challenge themselves to overcome, but it's not just the willingness to do it. It's the why you're willing to do it.. Because the why creates the passion for the what. And the passion creates the ability to sustain it." Nick Saban

• Our high school and junior high music classes (bands and stage musicals) recently completed a reading and music project. Students explored 79 quotes about music from a wide range of figures, including author Jane Austen, 5th-century Chinese philosopher Confucius, scientist Albert Einstein, actor Johnny Depp, and former President Ronald Reagan. Each student chose a favorite quote and turned it into a creative poster.
• On May 23rd, our junior high and high school bands will participate in the Trills and Thrills Festival in Sandusky, Ohio. Both ensembles will perform for a panel of judges, receive a plaque with their rating, and spend the rest of the day enjoying Cedar Point. Good luck, Bronco Band!
