I love working here! I live in the neighborhood, so I get to work in my community. The students are so wonderful and the staff all work as a team!

I like PLE because it is a pretty friendly community and it's where all my friends are. I also am glad that I get to take math next door at Tillicum Middle School.

I’ve seen the direct impact that the Bellevue Schools Foundation has on our students. As a parent, I’m an advocate for the Foundation because I know it helps not only my kids but those across the entire district!
See 2023-2024 BSF investments at Phantom Lake Elementary School and districtwide.
