The annual Back-to-School picnic is TONIGHT, Thursday, September 17 from 6-8 p.m. Food trucks will be on site for dinner and treats. Grab a blanket and come catch up with friends!
We will have Carmen’s, Potomac Pizza, and Curly’s BBQ. We will also have a DJ. People are welcome to bring their own food, blankets, etc.
We have new spirit wear this year! To order 2015-16 spirit wear, print and complete the BMES spirit wear form 2015-16 then send it to school with a check made out to BMES PTA in an envelope marked “Attn: PTA Spirit Wear.”
All orders are due by FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18 and WE WILL NOT ORDER ANY EXTRAS.
Please see Mrs. O’s Spotlight Week of September 14!
Spend $40 and get a Cal Tort card worth $50 when you join the PTA online (or find the paper form on the Support the PTA tab on the website.) Deadline is September 15.
Please find Mrs. O’s Spotlight for the week of 09-07-15. Included are details and times for Back to School Nights next week.
The Spotlight is different from BearPost (the PTA newsletter that you receive on Thursdays) because it is directly from the Principal’s office. Please read these newsletters weekly for important notes, requests and updates related to Bells Mill.
Enjoy the long weekend!

You can bring in anything from juices to muffins, but don’t stop there. The possibilities are endless. You can either choose to bring an item listed below or you can make something that’s not on the list (there is an empty slot as well) .… Read Full Post
