Tiger Gram Winners
Students can earn Tiger Grams for making good choices as part of the positive discipline plan at Birchcrest. They are given by any adult who catches a child following directions, helping others, walking nicely in the hallway, using good manners, etc. Ask your child if he/she has earned a Tiger Gram each day. Each week, classroom teachers draw a Tiger Gram winner which is announced on Friday mornings. That child gets to go to Mr. Farwell's office and pick a prize. One lucky winner will also receive a book.

The Story of Birchcrest Elementary
In 1962, developer, civic leader, elected official, and philanthropist R. Joe Dennis named a three-phase housing development Birchcrest. The Bellevue Board of Education voted in March 1962 to buy land in the development. They liked the name and selected it for Birchcrest Elementary School, which was constructed in two phases in 1963 and 1964.
