During this time of Thanksgiving, we want to take a moment to say thank you.

Thank you to the amazing teachers and staff at Bell who are navigating one of the most challenging years in education. Thank you for all you give to our school, our community, and our kiddos. We see you! We know how hard this year has been, and we want you to know we have immense gratitude for all you do.  

Thank you to all of our Bell families who have donated their time, money, and resources to support our community. This year, we had the most successful fall fundraiser in Bell's history! Corporate matching is still rolling in, but we will likely end up around $30K for the fall fundraiser. We have also seen our volunteerism increase to new levels this year. We are seeing more families getting involved with the school and we are immensely grateful. This is what it takes to have a strong school community!

Thank you. Wishing you all a rejuvenating and peaceful holiday weekend!

One week left to donate to the gift drive!

Thank you to everyone who has donated gifts. Please drop your wrapped gifts (including a tag with the student number) off at Bell's front office by Friday, December 3rd. 

We still have a number of gifts left on the sign-up and would love to see more of these wishes fulfilled. 

Take your family to the Bellevue Downtown Ice Rink this holiday weekend! 

Mention "Bell" for each paid admission and a $3 donation will be made to the Bell PTSA!

We have a couple suggestions for ways to show your gratitude to Bell teachers and staff during this time of Thanksgiving.

• Donate an air purifier to a classroom. We still have 17 rooms without them.
  
  
• Purchase items from a staff member's Amazon wish list. (Bell staff - please keep your lists updated with what you'd like!)
  
  
• Purchase an item from a staff member's Favorite Things list.

More info can be found on our staff appreciation page. 

Bell staff - email president@agbellptsa.org if you would like to edit anything on your Favorite Things list, or if you would like to add an Amazon wish list.
