All students who will be attending Bellows in the fall are asked to read at least three (3) books over the summer. Thanks to our Library Media Team of Ms. Trotta & Ms. Tucciarone, we have a "Summer Reading Playlist" of recommended titles for students entering each of the grades in the fall.

This list is recommended and students/families can select other titles to read this summer that are NOT on the list, but we are positive that students will enjoy many, if not all, of them!

On Thursday, third graders hosted their Panther Project to their families and loved ones in the FEB Auditorium. Teachers and students transformed the space into an interactive learning experience, all about Brazil and the importance of preserving rainforests. Students shared the multiple artifacts they created and everything they learned in their final Social Studies unit of the year.

Kudos to our third grade team and Ms. Trotta for all their hard work on bringing this event to families, but most importantly, "Bravo" to our third graders on a job well done!

Bellows kicked off the week with a hands on, interactive STEAM Museum. The fourth and fifth graders all visited the Auditorium, two classes at a time, to engage in a variety of STEAM related games and stations. Students roamed around, explored stations of interest and learned a bit about 3D printing, too.

This program was brought to our students by the generosity of the PTSA. It was a nice event to end the school year.

Thank you to the PTSA and to all the families who volunteered their time to supervise and coordinate the stations with Mobile Ed!

Fourth graders gained an understanding of tradition, military history, and how environment shapes discipline and pride on their annual trip to West Point. Students got to explore one of the most historic campuses in our country's history while learning about important figures who shaped American history and all about cadet life. The weather was beautiful and students and teachers came back to Bellows with a deeper appreciation for civic responsibility... and souvenirs from the gift shop, too!

Community members are invited to take a short online survey to share their thoughts on what improvements they would like to see at Harbor Island Park.

Your feedback will help guide future planning efforts and ensure the park continues to serve the needs of residents, visitors, and the broader community.

The survey is open now and responses will be accepted through June 30, 2026.
