Bellevue PTSA Council represents and supports all 28 PTAs in Bellevue School District (including yours!). We work in partnership with the Bellevue School District, Bellevue Schools Foundation, and the community at large to promote the welfare of children and families in the home, school, and community. As part of the WA State PTA, we make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children. 

Backpack Meals for Kids is a community-based non-profit organization that provides weekend meals packs to low-income BSD students. Every day, children are going hungry… even in Bellevue. Approximately 3,400 (17%) students qualify for free or reduced meals; for many students, the only meal they get is at school. On the weekend, they go hungry. Backpack Meals is there to fill the gap.
