The Bells Mill Bear Hug Fund has been around for many years. This fund is used to support families in our community that are in need. For example, funds from the Bear Fund have been used to help families buy groceries and/or clothes as well as many other ways. Both teachers and parents are able to donate to this fund. Teachers have donated money to the Bear Hug Fund in honor of other teachers or staff members who have retired. Parents have also donated to the Fund in honor of teachers in lieu of a gift. If you would like to contribute to the Bear Hug Fund, please make sure to address your donation to Mrs. Over in the main office. Donations should be given to Mrs. Over in the form of a check made payable to Bells Mill Elementary School. If a parent indicates which teacher to recognize on the back of the check, the school will notify the teacher of the donation in their name.
