Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities have shaped our nation through language, art, science, leadership, and innovation.

✨ Bellamy Parents — We Need Your Help! ✨

Our students have been working so hard earning points for things like showing up on time, good attendance, doing great work, and simply being kind ❤️

To celebrate them, our PTA created a Prize Cart where they can cash in those points for fun rewards and let me tell you, the excitement has been AMAZING! 🎉

But… we need a little help keeping it stocked!

We’ve put together a wishlist based on what the kids actually want (which makes it even more fun for them). Any donation, big or small, goes a long way in motivating and rewarding our students 🙌

If you’d like to contribute, check out the wishlist here:

Thank you for always showing up for our kids and helping us celebrate their hard work 💙
