BELLEVUE COLLEGE SUMMER CLASSES. The Bellevue College Summer Program for Teens offers a great way to learn and have fun during summer. The classes are designed for 12-17 year olds, and are taught by experienced instructors. Most classes are held at the Bellevue College North Campus right off WA-520 and 148th Ave NE in Bellevue. Class times and days vary, but most run half-days for one week, so you can experience multiple classes throughout the summer. And best of all, there's a large variety of subjects to choose from: June 24 - August 16, 2013.

Join us on May 30th as nine Washington State students in grades 3 through 12 are saluted for their award-winning writing on this year's topic at the World Affairs Council's 14th Annual Essay Contest Celebration. The World Affairs Council is thrilled to have Nancy Pearl as our keynote speaker for this celebratory event. Not only will she discuss some of her favorite "arm-chair" travel books, she will also "take" us to Bosnia- Herzegovina. Nancy, who developed "If All Seattle Read the Same Book," has recently returned from the Balkans where she helped launched "One Bosnia and Herzegovina, One Book" (which was sponsored by the U.S. Embassy in Sarajevo).  Come hear how the readers of all ethnicities, ages, religions, and genders related to Sherman Alexie's The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian and related to one another through discussing this book.
