Bells Mill Elementary

Parent Teacher Association

Together we make Bells Mill an extraordinary place to learn - through enrichment programs, classroom support, and the events that bring our community together.

Why join the PTA?

Membership funds enrichment programs, facility upgrades, and community events - and gives you a voice in what happens at Bells Mill. It is also a great way for families and students to get to know each other, build friendships, and feel at home in the school community. $40/year per family.
