Thank you to the entire Bell community for your generous support of our students as we worked to achieve our Bell Walk fundraising goal. The Walk was very successful and the students had a great time. Due to this great success, Mr. Kosko and Ms. Miller were "slimed" on Tuesday at the end of the day. It was a cold day for sliming, but the entire school watched via Bell TV and it created a fun atmosphere in the building as we wrapped up Bell Walk. Thank you again to everyone for your support of Bell School. Friends of Bell recently unveiled their new website. Please visit to learn more about this important organization in the Bell community.
friendsofbell.org Join us for Fall Family Night on Wednesday, October 24th from 6-8 p.m. Student work will be on display throughout the building, our school partners and local businesses will have sponsored activities and give-aways, and our staff will host a variety of fun activities for families to engage in together. It is a great opportunity to engage in the school environment with your child! We hope you can join us.
Tryouts for volleyball will take place next Tuesday and Wednesday after school for any girls who are interested in grades 5-8.
Sign ups for cross country will also take place next week for all boys and girls in grades 5-8 who are interested in joining the team. Students should pick up packets from Ms. Presmyk. We still need coaches for co-ed flag football and boys soccer. If we don't have any additional coaches, we will not be able to host teams this fall. Please sign up here if you can help coach either of these sports. Keeping our students safe is the most important priority for Bell School and our district. Bell will be sharing some new safety procedures with families via the Blink and at curriculum night. In addition, please see this letter from Chief Janice Jackson to learn more about what we are doing to keep our students safe and support our families. The letter is provided in English and Spanish. We look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday, September 4th!
 All students and families are invited to join us for our annual Back to School Bash on Saturday, September 8th. There will be food, games, prizes, vendors, and much, much more. It promises to be a great day!
