Dear Bellerive Families,


Thank you to everyone who swam on over to join our Walk to School Day on Friday! It was a great way to promote fitness, friendship, and our amazing community.


We’re also feeling extra grateful for all who supported the PTO’s Champions for Children fundraiser. Because of your generosity, we sailed past our goal! Students are excited to celebrate with a schoolwide Comfy Clothes and Stuffie Day on Friday, November 7.


This week, we’ll keep the fun afloat with our Fall Party Parade and Presenter on Friday. Please take a look at the reminders and costume guidelines below so everyone can enjoy a safe and fun celebration.


Also this week, our Book Fair splashes in on Saturday, November 1, from 9–11 am. Families can shop that morning and enjoy some special events. More details are coming later this week!


Finally, if you haven’t already, please be sure to sign up for your student-led conference. These begin next week on Monday, November 3. This is a great way to stay connected and chart your child’s course for continued success.


In partnership,

Joey Kneer

PTO Party Presenter

After the parade, the PTO is sponsoring a special assembly for the annual fall party. Serengeti Steve will present "The Reptile Experience" for all students.
