The Bells Mill Kids need your help! We are asking all parents to consider assisting with lunch and recess. Come and see a bit of what your son or daughter’s day is like. The children love seeing and playing with us. The big kids really do enjoy the company as much as the little ones. Learn more here

If you are available to volunteer one afternoon each week in the media center, we could really use your help.  Please contact JoAnn Floyd, the Media Specialist, for more details.  joann_h_floyd@mcpsmd.org
