Do you want to donate online? You can donate as a wonderful Site Member (to agbellptsa.org) or as a cherished Guest! Just be sure to include the student name and their teacher (or grade if teacher is unknown).

Writing a check?  All checks should be made out to AG BELL PTSA and include the student name and teacher/grade in the memo line. 

Do you want more information on the cool prizes, extra forms and earned parties? You can find out all of this information on our ROCK THE WALK page!

Reflections

Reflections art program has started and each child is being sent home with a black artist bag that contains all of their supplies, paper, submissions forms - everything they need to "Look Within" and create a lovely piece of art. Bags, once they come home, are due the next day but you don't need to turn in your piece until October 25th! Visit our Reflections Page to find out more about the PTSA Art Reflections program. While the program is voluntary for each child we love to see as many pieces as we can knowing they come from the heart!

Hearing and Vision Screening

Vision and Hearing screenings will be done in the school library on November 5th this year and we need volunteers!. The new school nurse at Bell, Samantha Young, will be organizing the event. She will be bringing a handful of nursing students with her; however, she needs our help. She has asked for 12 volunteers. The majority of volunteers will be doing hearing and vision screening. One volunteer will be responsible for bringing each classroom to the library for screening. We will receive training at 8:45am in the morning. 

Sign up here:  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0444adaf22abf58-hearing3

Note: kids can come with you and play quietly in the library during training if needed. You can then walk them out to their line right before class starts. Screening should likely be copleted by around 1pm.

Any questions, please reach out to Brena Gattuccio at studentenrichment@agbellptsa.org
