Date: See you June 2025!

If you and your children have a half an hour to spare for the cleanup slots—join us, all helping hands are greatly valued!

It was a beautiful day for 5th grade promotion. We are proud of our Belvedere Bobcats moving onto their middle school adventure. Big THANK YOUS to the Belvedere families who helped make the day shine!

Do you have a love for the outdoors or for tending garden beds? 

This team helps maintain the gardens at the front of the school, near the grade school playground, and helps develop plans for future green space. Time commitment is as big or small as you would like. 

Every set of hands helps and sharing your love of nature will continue the momentum of the "Green Space Goals" we have for this school year! 

Join us with gloves and a trowel on hand!
