Lucky Reader - March is the time of year when students often lag behind in their reading.  The weather gets better, spring is on the way and social time begins to trump reading time.  Lucky Reader is a fun way to encourage students to keep reading.  I check out a variety of books from Spanish and English fiction, nonfiction, and everybody shelves to a patron named "Lucky Reader" and then put them back on the shelves. Unknowingly, a student may choose to read one of these books and when they check out a note pops up on the computer that says it's already checked out to Lucky Reader.  Surprise!  The student checks out their book AND wins a free book to keep.  Lucky Reader runs from the 1st week of March until Spring Break.  Are you a Lucky Reader? 

Collecting ink cartridges and cell phones

We are still collecting old cell phones and empty printer cartridges of any size.  Our library gets points and cash for these items, so don't forget to collect them at your home or office and drop them off in the library.  No toner cartridges please. 

Friday, April 24 11:00am - 1:15pm * Bellevue Hyatt Hotel
 

The PTA Presidents and Puesta del Sol's BSF Ambassador Koan Maurer would like to invite you to join them at the Spring For Schools Luncheon. 
 
Funds raised at the luncheon will support transformative pilot projects district-wide, such as the elementary STEM initiative, and support for students in need through programs like VIBES and kindergarten early literacy intervention.  Attending is a great way to see what's going on in Bellevue's public schools and learn how donors make a difference. 
 
If you would like to join us at one of the tables, please sign-up here.
 
If you're unable to attend, you may still make a contribution to help the foundation reach their goal by giving online at the Foundation's website.
