One School One Book

Bell's Crossing is so excited to put on a One School One Book event this month.  Each child and adult in our building are receiving a copy of the book A Boy Called Bat by Elana K. Arnold.  Students will be reading chapters at school and at home.  There are also opportunities for students to answer trivia questions around town to earn prizes and eat for a discount if they bring a copy of the book on our Dine and Chat nights.  Please look at the information in our One School One Book Family Folder for more details and dates.  A copy of this is also coming home with students.  

Contact Mrs. Ballinger in the library with any questions.   Happy reading!

Do you or your child want to give someone a shout out? Maybe someone has been a good friend, achieved a special accomplishment, or is having a birthday this week? Purchase a Shout Out CAMEO! 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.) We do our best to record all of our news episodes so that you can watch from home.
