Each year, the Staples stores have a competition and the winner receives a $20,000 donation from Intel. The State College Staples Store finished in the top 1% of tens of thousands of stores across the country to win the competition and nominated Bellefonte Elementary to receive the $20,000 shopping spree! What an incredible opportunity!

ATTENTION: FRIDAY EVENT PARKING INFORMATION

On Friday, Nov 14, 2025, there will be a variety of events going on at the middle school and high school. We realize that parking will be at a premium. We have been notified by the Faith Church (behind Rogers Stadium) that we will be unable to utilize their parking lot due to an event they are hosting.

If you are attending the play performance, please utilize the parking lot in front of the theatre entrance and the Mount Nittany parking across the street (we have permission to use this parking).

If you are attending the football game, please use the student parking lot near Rogers Stadium and the neighborhood near the stadium. Please be mindful of the homes and driveways in the neighborhood.

If you are dropping off or picking up for winter sports practices, please use the front of the high school. We will have the gym doors open for students to enter for practices. DO NOT use the wrestling room doors or parking area, as this will be blocked off for the football game and bus parking.

We ask that all spectators for the BASD events on Friday work together to make the night successful for all. Thank you!!

It is National School Psychology Week! This week celebrates the contributions of school psychologists and the important role they play in schools and communities. NSPW is an annual opportunity to recognize school psychologists' work to help children thrive in school, at home, and in life. This year's theme, "Finding Your Path," reflects the ways that school psychologists help students, families, and school communities set and achieve their goals. Take a moment to chart your course to explore how school psychologists make a difference every day.

The school psychologists in our district are: Joy Anderson, Gessica Grenninger, and Lisa Hickey!

In fourth grade ELA Ms. Brown's class participated in a Socratic seminar where they collected and presented evidence of which person was the most great hearted and why. Then each student voted on which person deserved the award and we had a clear winner. It was great to see students collaborate and work together to prove their claims.
