We are thrilled to welcome Ksenia Tshahhirov and Janice Zahn to our Board of Trustees!

We are honored to administer and support the Debra Muren Scholarship through Bellevue Schools Foundation. This three-year scholarship, providing $1,000 each year, celebrates a student from the Health Careers Program. Debra Jean Muren was a dedicated direct care nurse and compassionate caregiver, as well as a beloved Bellevue Parent. After her passing from early-onset Alzheimer’s in 2010, her family established this scholarship in her memory to support Bellevue students pursuing nursing degrees. This year, we proudly present the award to Ashley Sung, a Newport High School graduate from the Class of 2024. Ashley is certified in Art Therapy, Animal Assisted Therapy, and Music Therapy. She also holds Red Cross CPR/AED/First Aid and Basic Life Support Certifications. With over 1,000 volunteer hours, she earned the Gold President’s Volunteer Service Award. This fall, Ashley will enter the Nursing Program at the University of Washington and join the Geriatric Interest Group in honor of her halmoni (grandmother). Congratulations, Ashley! #bellevueschoolsfoundation #bellevueschooldistrict405
