Tuesday at Bellview Elementary was extra sweet, as we rolled out the 'Woot Woot Wagon,' delivering treats to our fabulous classified staff! A roaming festival of gratitude, filled with snacks, smiles, and a little bit of magic, made its way through the halls, bringing joy and appreciation directly to our hardworking team. It's just one of the ways we say a huge thank you to those who help make our school a wonderful place for our children to learn and grow. #ClassifiedAppreciationWeek

Februarys community assembly was fantastic! We had singing from the Bellview choir, dances that students made up in PE, student awards for empathy, Bellview Bees teaching us about Friendship Skills, 5th grade leading us in the Bellview song, and cleanest classroom award going to Mrs. Preskenis' class! What a great day to be a Bobcat! 💙💛

Hi All, I want to thank the Bellview community for their generous donations that made this years Booksgiving event so very successful! We collected over 700 books from students and families. This year each student was able to select three books to take home for the holiday to read. We even have extra books in stock that we can use for next years event. If you would like some extra books for your classroom, please stop by the library and see me to take a look. With gratitude, Glenn Sagal Library Assistant
