Congratulations to these two wonderful PTA members! 🐾🎉

This year the Bell PTA Board selected two individuals to recognize with a Texas PTA Honorary Life Membership Award. This award is one of Texas PTA’s highest forms of recognition. It is awarded to individuals who give tirelessly of themselves for the good of the school, the students and their families.

🌟We proudly award this honor to Andre'a Varnado and Shannon Edgar! 🌟

Thank you so much for your extraordinary dedication! Your hard work and dedication to our school is noticed by everyone and there isn’t an award big enough to truly show our appreciation for all you do for Bell Elementary! 🐾

🎉Yesterday, was National School Librarian day and we want to let Mrs. Russell and Ms. Shaun know how much we appreciate them! They go the extra mile every single day to make sure our Bobcats have the best experience when it comes to reading, books, and other hands on enrichment activities! They also do an AMAZING job at keeping the library windows beautifully decorated for all to see. They are a dynamic duo and Bell is so lucky to have them at our campus!
