| AmeriCorps Service Scholars make their formal introduction to all of the students in the After School Program. |
The CalSERVES After School Program is up and running. Classroom leaders have been doing a fantastic job taking attendance, running physical activity centers, leading literacy and math lessons and supporting their students with their daily homework. After School students have also been working hard on maintaining good attendance, practicing and following our school wide Tribes agreements and school rules, and making sure they’re ready to learn everyday!
As a way to acknowledge the hard work that both Classroom Leaders and After School students have been displaying for the past several weeks, the Bellevue CalSERVES After School program has been having fun during their bi-weekly assemblies! During assemblies, students have the opportunity to participate in various re-lay races against other grades to earn extra physical activity time!
 |
| The students from third and fourth grade work together to be the first class to get their hula-hoop through every student and win the “Student Relay”. Their Classroom Leader, Ms. Goeppert, helps her students by cheering them on and helping them out when they get stuck! |
 |
| And AmeriCorops Service Scholar, Mr. Valdovinos, helps third grade by being the first one to start off the race! |
In addition, all Classroom Leaders and AmeriCorps Service Scholars compete against each other in unique and fun relay races to earn their class and grade level weekly physical activity incentives as well! The entire After School Program performs a cheer and towards the end, students (three girls and three boys from grades k-6) get recognized for demonstrating “Outstanding Behavior” during After School. Students who are recognized receive a “Star Student” chair cover that they place in their chair and they are also the first to receive snack everyday throughout an entire week. They also decide what physical activity their class will play and receive a special treat.

There is no doubt that the students, Classroom Leaders, AmeriCorps Service Scholars, and Site-Supervisor at Bellevue, have a great time creating After School spirit and enjoy displaying their Bulldog pride.
Go Bulldogs!
