Bells Mill is an incredible school thanks to the dedication and hard work of more than 70 talented individuals. Every year, families and room parents generously give holiday gifts to their classroom teachers, and we are so grateful for that tradition. This year, we’d like to extend that appreciation to all BMES staff, including paraeducators, building service staff, and specialists, to ensure everyone feels the holiday spirit.
The PTA is coordinating a sign-up to help us recognize these amazing team members. We would love your support in making sure every staff member feels valued this holiday season. Sign up here: Signup Genius Form
To make gift-giving easier, we’ve compiled a spreadsheet of staff members’ favorite things: Favorite Things List. Gifts can be delivered directly by your child or dropped off at the front office to be placed in a staff mailbox. As a friendly reminder, there are specific MCPS guidelines about individual gift giving that must be followed by all parents. The MCPS policy states that the total gift amount for the year cannot exceed $100 per child. Any single gift cannot exceed $20. While the teachers and staff certainly appreciate your generosity, thank you notes and student artwork go a long way!
Thank you for your incredible generosity and for helping us show our appreciation to every member of the Bells Mill Staff this holiday season!
