Community Corner

Each week in Bear Post we will share information from other schools in the cluster or community events that provide opportunities to connect and help each other. If you have anything you would like to add, email communications@bellsmill.org. While these are not sponsored or endorsed by the BMES PTA, we’re happy to help share information as appropriate.

Students from the Bells Mill Odyssey of the Mind team are holding a few restaurant fundraiser nights to raise money to support attendance at the World Finals at the end of May in Michigan.
