Bellview Elementary School

It's Classified Appreciation Week at Bellview Elementary School and we're showing our gratitude to the unsung heroes who keep our school running smoothly. From our custodians to our cafeteria staff, our classified employees play a crucial role in the daily operations of our school. To show our appreciation, we surprised them with a delicious spread of food to enjoy during their lunch break. Thank you to each and every one of our classified employees for their hard work and dedication. We couldn't do it without you! #ClassifiedAppreciationWeek #BellviewHeroes #BellviewElementarySchool

This week we had Takumi Kato and his 3 sons come do a performance using taiko drums. The sons were ages 6, 9, and 11. They did a fantastic job! Two of the boys went around as the Shishimai, having it bite students and staff on the head gently as a sign of good luck.
