As we prepare for upcoming afterschool events at BMES, we want to remind you that all students must be accompanied by a parent/guardian or older sibling over the age of 18 when attending these events.
While at the event, students need to remain under the supervision of their accompanying adult. We’ve received feedback about students exploring areas of the school where they shouldn’t be at some recent evening activities at the school. Please help us to ensure safety for all.
The Bells Mill Academic Showcase “Leap into Learning” will be held tonight, February 29 from 6:30-8 p.m. This fun-filled night features a choice board where your child(ren) can participate in up to three events as well as other fun activities throughout the evening! Click here for a flyer with all of the events and activities for the night.
