Your child can appear LIVE on our news show for their shoutout, or our anchors can shout them out without an appearance. Complete this Shout Out Form and send $3 to school in an envelope labeled ENN Shout Out to have your submission read on air during our morning news show, with your child in attendance.  (Appearances are optional.)

Bell's Crossing is excited to continue our special relationship with the SmartARTS program for the 2026-27 school year. Students will work with an artist-in-residence to enjoy learning through arts integration in the challenge classroom. In the past, we have teamed with visual artists, theater artists, dance artists, a ceramics artist, and a landscape architect. It will be exciting to see where these lessons take us next year!
