On Friday, third graders closed out the 2026 FEB Field Day series in spectacular fashion! Although the hottest day of the three, third graders had a wonderful time competing with their friends out on the field.

Black took the series this year, 2-1, as black won third grade Field Day in a close one, 79-71.

A huge thank you to all of our parent volunteers at all three of our Field Days this year and to our teachers for their ongoing support and participation in the events.

A special "shout out" to Coaches Iacovelli & Calvini for planning, organizing and running a very smooth and engaging 2026 Field Day for all students at FEB! Bravo!

Illustrator, author, and graphic novelist Jay Cooper visited all grades at Bellows on Wednesday for a special presentation and interactive live drawing session. Students enjoyed learning about his creative process and how he develops and illustrates graphic novels.

Thank you to the PTSA for sponsoring this great end of year event!

It was busy at Bellows on Tuesday as third graders culminated their week long residency with Artistree by putting on six heartwarming and beautiful performances of their folktales from around the world.

This has become a staple of the third grade experience and we are so grateful to be able to work with the local theatre company, Artistree, and the wonderful Heather Cappelle!

Watching our students bring literature to life in this art form is just a treasure and a joy!

The F.E. Bellows Student Council held their last meeting on Friday. Participants engaged in activities throughout the year that built leadership, taught responsibility , and encouraged community spirit.

Fifth graders participated in a special end-of-year race inspired by the TV show The Amazing Race. Working in teams, students solved a variety of STEM-based puzzles and challenges that encourage collaboration, critical thinking, and knowledge of library skills.

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.
