Community Service Spotlight
Maggie Lipinsky is a senior who volunteers with Hopelink where she works in the warehouse and helps transport items. This is an incredible help to Hopelink and the people there greatly appreciate her service. Even people who volunteered with her at the Holiday Bazaar could see the helpful and thoughtful person she is as she checked-in with each vendor and asked if they needed any additional help. Thank you, Maggie, for serving in our community! You are inspiring others to follow your lead and help others in the same way.

Fundraiser- Ice Skate in Bellevue and raise money for your school
November 23-December 21, 2018 & January 1-13, 2019
The Bellevue Downtown Association is thrilled to provide a turn-key fundraising opportunity for schools in the area, including Eastlake High School! This will be held at the 2018-2019 Bellevue Downtown Ice Rink presented by Alaska Mileage Plan. Each year, the ice rink is set up as a temporary structure at the Bellevue Downtown Park. This rink features the region’s largest covered open-air ice skating experience. Admission is $15/person (includes skate rental), and $10/person for ages eight and under. Details about the rink here.
The Bellevue Downtown Association is offering $3 from every paying visitor from our school who notify rink staff upon arrival what school they are affiliated with. A tally is kept of the total number of visits from the dates listed above and a check to Eastlake High School will be forwarded by the end of January 2019. For example, if you have 50 people skate on December 3 and 45 on January 8, you will have raised $285 for our school. So easy! You were going to go ice skating anyway, right?!
Ice skating opens to the public on Friday, November 23 and closes on Sunday, January 13 and is a part of the Bellevue Magic Season. Families can make it a night of holiday fun with a visit to Snowflake Lane at The Bellevue Collection and stroll through Garden d’Lights at the Bellevue Botanical Garden.
