Come join the PTA for our annual Back to School Picnic this Friday from 6-8pm.  With music and food available for purchase, it’s a great way to kick off the school year.  Rain or shine!  *This is not a drop off event*

Bells Mill has their own Twitter!  You can follow us @bellsmillbears as another way to stay up to date and see the students and faculty in action!
