Bells Mill Elementary School PTA

Thank you to everyone who has filled out the survey! We will be reaching out shortly about the opportunities available. Your involvement is critical so we can continue to provide enrichment activities and support Bells Mill. This is also a great way to get to know parents, teachers, and administrators. 

And we are still looking for volunteers! A list and description of committees is available here. Please indicate on this form which ones you would be interested in supporting, and we’ll be in touch.… Read Full Post

The lost and found is already finding student items. To help lost items make it’s way back to order Mabels Labels! Mabel’s Labels are durable, personalized labels for kid’s clothing, equipment, and camp supplies. Order from https://mabelslabels.com/en_US/fundraising/support/ by searching for Bells Mill, and the PTA will receive 20% of the total of your order. With your support, we recently received $60 from the company!

This week is a busy week with open house, kindergarten parent night and the Bells Mill Staff returns!

We are looking forward to seeing everyone on Thursday at the open house. Please join us for our annual popsicles on the blacktop after you go to your classroom!. 

We continue to be extremely grateful for all of our teachers/staff and their commitment to our students and community! The PTA has a few welcome events planned, including a special breakfast for our teachers/staff on Thursday, August 22, 2024. We would appreciate your support.

At the end of each Fiscal Year we are required to have the books of the Bells Mill Elementary PTA undergo a financial review. This is not an audit, you do not need to be a CPA or financial professional to volunteer, and the entire commitment shouldn’t take more than 1-2 hours.
