S.T.E.A.M. night was so much fun! A big thank you to Frances, Monica, Whitney, Dave and all of the volunteers who helped with event setup and cleanup. 

Thanks to our awesome vendors and non-profits who participated: MadScience, Museum of Flight, Kirkland Public Works | Storm & Surface Water Division, Seattle Infinity Math Circle, Tomāto TomÓ“to Creative, CreArt Studioz, Rubik's Cube, Planet Youth Project, and Wayne and Andrew for their cool telescope setup! 

Mrs. Lustgarten will be back for art lessons with all Bell students this spring! For each art lesson we would like to have a volunteer to assist. Lessons for grades 1-5 will be held in the Art Room. Kindergarten lessons will be held in the Kindergarten classrooms.

Thank you Brena Gattuccio for serving on this year's nominating committee! We are still looking for 2 more volunteers to serve on the nominating committee to help elect the 2023-2024 Bell PTSA Executive Board.

The nominating committee helps interested community members connect with the current board to learn more about board positions and help to identify candidates for next year's board.
