I have so much gratitude for the generosity of our Bellview community! Every single Winter Care Box gift tag has been taken from our virtual giving tree as of today! Additionally, the Presbyterian church has donated all of the protein for the holiday meals! This will brighten the holidays for 28 families and 67 children. Thank you to each one of you for your donations to classroom item collection bins, as well as gifts for children.

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

Today we honor and celebrate the perseverance, rich diversity and contributions of all Indigenous peoples—from the first peoples of this place to those from across the globe who now call Oregon home. We especially recognize our local tribes including the Takelma, Shasta, Modoc, Klamath, and Umpqua as well as the almost 160 students in our schools who identify as Native American and their families. We value the individual and cultural traditions and contributions that they bring that strengthens our ASD community.

Second graders are reading the book Charlotte's Web, and Mr. Carnes 4th graders are studying tarantulas. They came together today so that Mr. Carnes could share his personal collection of jumping spiders and tarantulas with Ms. Hansen's class! They made fiction and non-fiction connections and got to ask great questions.
