HS Peer Advisory Council is a new program for our high school students that will create an open forum for students in grades 9–11 to share ideas, propose campus events, and make meaningful changes to their campus and community. 💡Within this program our students had the opportunity to campaign for a position on the Leadership Team! Creating posters, writing speeches, and surveying their peers, our campus has been abuzz with excitement. 🌟 This past Tuesday, our future leaders stood in front of their peers, teachers, and administrators to deliver their speeches and share why they deserve the vote of their classmates. 📣 These high school students spoke on their leadership experience, their goals for the year, and how they plan to continue to build our school community. 🏫 The moment they’ve been working toward is almost here! Tomorrow, our high school students will cast their votes and help choose the Leadership Team for our HS Peer Advisory Council. 🗳️ We can’t wait to see who their peers select to help shape an exciting year of ideas, events, and positive change across our campus and community. Good luck to all of our candidates! 🎉 #FutureLeaders #FearlessThinkers #StudentVoices #GoMountaineers!

We recently celebrated our students at the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) and National Honor Society (NHS) Induction and Renewal Ceremonies. Returning members reaffirmed their dedication to each organization’s mission and values, while new inductees—selected through a rigorous application process and a vote by their respective Faculty Council—formally pledged to uphold those same ideals. Our NJHS ceremony honored 15 students in grades 7–9, including welcoming 5 new members. 22 students in grades 10–11 were recognized at the NHS ceremony, which also highlighted the 2025–2026 officers: President David X., Vice President Timothy W., and Secretary Cindy L. To our operations team and our faculty advisors Ms. Abele, Ms. E-E, Ms. Iliescu, Ms. Rieger, Ms. van Hoff, Dr. Dornhoffer, Dr. Felix, Ms. Fischer, and Mr. Griffioen: A special thank you for supporting our NJHS and NHS students and helping make these ceremonies possible! We are proud of our middle and high school students for the example they set within our community, and we’re looking forward to the positive impact they’ll make this year! #NHS #NJHS #basisindependentbellevue

🌎 Kindergarten Community Day! 🌍 On Friday, our Kindergarten classroom came alive as parents joined students for a special look into our Community Helpers unit. Our students have been exploring the people, places, and everyday helpers who make our communities stronger such as doctors, firefighters, police offices, and construction workers. Community Day was a special opportunity for parents, staff, and even our High School students to join us inside the classroom and to hear about what our Kindergarten students have been learning! At the event, our Kindergarteners dressed up as community helpers, showed off the research projects they conducted, as well as the model town they built together! Through hands-on learning experiences like these, our students are building knowledge, confidence, and curiosity while learning to see the world from different perspectives. Thank you to our wonderful parents for stepping into the classroom and learning alongside us! 💫 #Kindergarten #CommunityDay #CommunityHelpers #LearningTogether #JoyOfLearning #EarlyEducation #FearlessThinkers
