In case you missed it last week, please take a look at the PTA Fall Newsletter, which also includes a calendar of planned events for the 2024-2025 school year.

It’s time for another exciting school year to start, and an important part of Bells Mill Elementary is our PTA.
Why join the PTA? Through the PTA, families and teachers work together to enrich the school experience.
