Bell PTSA is excited to be hosting a Bell community Multicultural Night on January 19, 2023 from 6:30pm to 8:00pm.

During Multicultural Night, we will celebrate many diverse cultures that make up the Bell community while learning fun facts and listening to beautiful music from all around the world. It is a fantastic way to connect with other families and learn about different countries, cultures, traditions, and more!

Please save the date and consider volunteering. There are numerous ways you can help and get involved, including setting up the gym and cleaning up after the event. We need at least 10 cultures/countries represented to be able to host this event.

For questions, please email multiculturalnight@agbellptsa.org.

Vision and Hearing screenings will be done on January 10th. The school/district nurse organizes the event yearly. We need 12+ volunteers to help. The majority of volunteers will be doing hearing and vision screening. One volunteer will be responsible for bringing each classroom to the screening rooms. We will receive training at 9:00am in the morning and begin screenings after the morning announcements. Snacks and drinks will be provided for volunteers. 

Date: 01/10/2023 (Tue.)

Time: 9:00am - 1:30pm PST

All volunteers must be approved as a volunteer through LWSD

If your child(ren) wear prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses please help them remember to wear them to school on 1/10.

You might receive a notice from one of our nurses should your student need to be rescreened. No notice will be sent if they passed both screenings.
