COMMUNITY

    Advertise in our 2012 - 2013 School Directory
    This Fall, the PTA published its annual directory of students, and distributed it to all PTA members.  As you know, the directory is a vital resource, and is used throughout the school year. Therefore, ads placed in the directory are viewed year-round!  In addition, an ad in the directory shows our community that your business supports our school! AtoZ Directories will be helping us next year with ad sales and directory printing.  If you or a business you know is interested in advertising in our print or mobile directory during the 2012-13 school year, please email AtoZ Directories at amy@atozdirectories.com.  Thanks for your support!

     

NON-PROFIT PARENTING CLASSES AND INFORMATION

Periodically, our PTA is asked by outside non-profit organizations to pass along to our Bells Mill families information regarding parenting classes and other resources. These outside non-profit organizations are neither endorsed nor sponsored by the Bells Mill school administration, MCPS or the PTA, however our PTA believes that some families in our community may find these materials helpful.
