Middle School HAL Monthly News

Middle School HAL Families,

It has been an honor to be the 7th/8th grade HAL teacher this year. It has been a remarkable journey. Together, we have grown so much, and I appreciate all of the experiences we've endured. I'm so thankful for all of the memories we have made this school year.

To the 7th Graders -

I am so excited that we get one more year together. There is a lot in store for next year, and I can't wait to watch you all thrive next year and you prepare for high school.

Farewell 8th Graders -

I am hopeful that each of you has a bright future ahead of you. I look forward to hearing about the great things all of you will accomplish. Each and every one of you has had an impact on me, and your names and faces will forever be engraved in my memories. I realize that this seems like the end for us, but it's only the beginning.

Congratulations to Mission & Logan Fontenelle for representing Bellevue Public Schools at the State Science Olympiad Competition on April 21st. Mission won 1st place, and Logan earned 3rd place! I couldn't be more proud of all of the students that helped contribute to these wins!! Go Bellevue!
