Why Support the PTA?
The PTA works closely with the school administration and staff to support the school and your children.

The PTA also sponsors the following activities but does not earn any funds by doing so:
- Book Fair: The Book Fair raises about $6,500 in scholastic dollars that goes directly to the Media Center.
- FLEX Academies Afterschool Program: The PTA understands that afterschool programs are expensive so we work with FLEX to provide the lowest cost possible. Other area PTAs increase the fees in order to raise funds but Bells Mill ES PTA does not earn any money working with FLEX.
