Raising the Stakes
Welcome
Welcome to the Bellevue Christian School Annual Auction, Raising the Stakes. May this evening be filled with joy, connection, and deep gratitude as we gather together.
Your support, commitment, and faithful partnership strengthen our school in countless ways. It is a blessing to come together as a community united in Christ’s purpose and love for our students.
This year, we reflect on our school verse, reminding us that God is doing “a new thing” (Isaiah 43:18–19). We are excited for the opportunities unfolding before us and grateful to move forward together with faith, hope, and trust in His provision. The work we do at BCS is meaningful and transformative - and only possible because we do it together.
Tonight’s Raise the Paddle continues our commitment to the Teacher Endowment Fund, an investment that supports our exceptional faculty and strengthens our mission for generations to come. Our teachers are the heart of Bellevue Christian School. They guide our students academically, spiritually, and relationally each day. Your generosity invests in instructors who bring our mission to life and who partner with families in preparing students for all that God has planned.
Thank you for being part of what makes BCS such a special place for students and families. By giving your time and resources this evening, you are helping shape the future of our school. Your trust and partnership inspire us and fill us with gratitude.
With Appreciation,
MIKE OLSON Interim Head of School Bellevue Christian School
TONYA LOVING President BCS Board of Directors

Raise the Paddle
This year’s Raise the Paddle will again benefit our Teacher Endowment Fund - a long-term investment fund to recruit and retain excellent teachers. The endowment will strengthen and sustain our commitment to bolster teacher compensation and support.
Bellevue Christian School believes that the ultimate goal of Christian education is Discipleship. For transformational discipleship to occur, students must be surrounded by adults who model BCS’ mission and vision, caring deeply for them, inspiring them to discover the unique gifts that God has given them. This connection between teachers (and coaches, buss drivers, support staff, and many others) has always been at the foundation of BCS education.
WHAT IS AN ENDOWMENT FUND?
Endowed funds are carefully invested in a portfolio, managed per Board policy by the school’s Trust and Investment Committee. The income earned from the investment is available for its intended use, while the corpus—the investment itself—is never spent and continues to grow based on additional contributions and income.
WHY THE ENDOWMENT FUND?
Creating an additional revenue stream via the Teacher Endowment to supplement teacher compensation will decrease our reliance on tuition as the sole channel of addressing this critical area.
HOW DO TEACHERS RECEIVE THE BENEFITS FROM THE ENDOWMENT FUND?
The funds will be allocated and added to our teacher pay grid to increase contracted teachers’ salaries. Going forward, the amount we add to the pay grid will be calculated annually based on 5% of the fiveyear average of prior balances.
We hope you join us in raising your paddle high!
