The Bellevue Schools Foundation is a non-profit organization separate from the school district that develops, promotes, and funds learning opportunities for students in all of Bellevue's public schools. At Puesta del Sol, they have helped provide the funding for the Dreambox math program and have provided funding to help our teachers obtain their National Board Certification. They also run and test programs throughout the district, like the Elementary STEM Program that will come to Puesta del Sol in 2015-2016.
