Hello Bellamy Elementary families! We’ve set a goal to create a communi­ty of lifesavers by getting everyone to complete Finn’s Mission and learn Hands-Only CPR. When given immediately, Hands-Only CPR can double (or even triple) a person’s chance of surviving cardiac arrest. If you haven’t done it yet, complete Finn’s Mission today to learn this lifesaving skill and earn special thank-you gifts. The first 10 students to complete Finn's Mission will receive the special limited Victor keychain!!

What an amazing 100th day celebration we had!! 😄

Our 3rd grade AGP students explored the fascinating world of seed discovery this week. During our science investigation, students carefully examined various fruits, learning how seeds develop and contribute to plant reproduction. 🌱 The students meticulously dissected different fruits, observing seed structures and understanding the intricate process of how plants propagate. This hands-on exploration connected botanical science with real-world observation, helping students develop critical thinking and scientific inquiry skills. 🔬

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! To ensure we continue to provide high-quality, rigorous learning opportunities that meet the needs of our students, we are asking HCPS families to complete a brief survey.

You may complete the survey online using a computer, tablet, or smartphone. We thank you in advance for your thoughtful responses and support.
