Hey Bell community! The most exciting event of the year is just around the corner, and we want YOU to be part of the fun!
What’s the Bell Walk?
Imagine your kiddos walking, skipping, and dancing around the school with their friends, all while raising money for the programs that make Bell the amazing place it is. That’s the Bell Walk! It’s our annual fundraiser where students from Kindergarten to 8th grade take to the track (perimeter of the school AND new South Lot track), get active, and have a blast, all for a great cause.
Why do we walk?
Because we’re passionate about our kids’ education and making sure they have everything they need to thrive! The funds raised during the Bell Walk go directly to support programs and staff positions that make Bell School so special. This year, we are raising money for Math Curriculum and grade-wide curriculum supplies.
Why should you get excited?
Because this isn’t just about raising money, it’s about coming together as a community, having fun, and showing our Bell pride. Plus, it’s a great way for parents to get involved, meet other families, and cheer on the kiddos as they walk their hearts out.
How Does It Work?
It’s simple and so much fun! Here’s how to get involved:
Fundraise Together: Start by helping your child gather donations from family, friends, neighbors - anyone who wants to support our school! The more donations, the bigger the impact. Your child(ren) can even make their own campaign page to share! An instructional video is here.
Walk Day Magic: On Walk Day, your child will join their classmates on the track, logging laps and earning prizes along the way. It’s all about moving, grooving, and celebrating school spirit!
Awesome Prizes: We’ve got some fantastic prizes lined up this year (think cool gear like speakers, keychains, Bell swag, and more!). The more your child raises, the more they collect.
[NEW] BIG HEADS. BIG CHEERS. BIG BELL WALK ENERGY.
Want to make sure your Bell student can spot you cheering from the sidelines? Put their face on a giant cutout.
This year, Bell Walk families can purchase a Large Head Cutout of their student to cheer them on in a BIG way.
Will your kid absolutely love seeing a giant version of their face along the route? Some will. Some definitely won’t. Either way, we’re pretty sure it will make for a memorable Bell Walk!
