Our annual service projects have included: trash pick up for the environment, recycling within our school, planting flowers around our buddy bench on the playground and in front of the school, raising money for a Bellevue Bear alumni cancer patient, and raising funds for a village in Africa. The Council meets every Friday during lunch and recess. It encourages students to be their best, be strong role models for younger students in our school and help others in our community. These characteristics help students earn their red and gold uniform, which is the symbol of being a leader at Bellevue Elementary.
