Hoops Season Is Near—Become a Volunteer!
Basketball season is right around the corner, and we're looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help coach our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade boys and girls basketball teams! Coaching is a great way to get involved, support our student-athletes, and make a positive impact on their experience both on and off the court.
If you are interested in volunteering or would like more information, please reach out to Jim Hicks at jim.hicks@bellevue.kyschools.us.
Thank you for your continued support of our students and school programs!
