Help Us Celebrate Educator Appreciation Week
This week is Teacher/Educator Appreciation Week! The PTO is sponsoring variety of activities to celebrate our staff all week long. Click here to see what we have planned--all made possible through your support of the Bellerive PTO!
We also need your help for Wednesday's Note of Thanks Day. Last week there should have been a Thank You Note sheet in your child's backpack. It would be awesome if your student(s) could write a message or draw a picture for their teacher(s) and deliver it to them. Here is a link to the note if you need to print your own. Students can also create their own notes!
Many parents asked us to reshare this list of Staff Favorites. Thank you in advance for any kind gestures, notes, or support you share with our amazing staff—it truly means a lot to them!
Celebrate Dr. Marty on Tuesday
Join us as we honor the legacy and celebrate the retirement of Superintendent Dr. Keith Marty.
Please consider attending this special event at North High on Tuesday, May 6, at 6 pm and wear your Bellerive gear! The program will end at approximately 6:45 pm (with a reception to follow). The North area principals are collaborating to help plan this event, and we would love to have strong representation from each of our schools. Let’s help Dr. Marty remember how special Bellerive is and the great work our students and families do as leaders.
