It's time for Market Day! Market Day, the monthly fundraising food cooperative, is a chance for you to help raise money for Bell School and stock up on groceries at the same time. 

• If you prefer to pick up your order at the monthly delivery to Bell, there are 2 ways to order:  online from the Market Day website or on the Market Day form sent home via backpack mail each month. If you order online, you can pre-pay using your Visa/Mastercard.  Checks and cash are accepted at pick-up.  After you order, either via backpack mail or online, just show up on the delivery date (usually the fourth Tuesday of the month) to pick up your order in the lunchroom from 2:45-4pm.
• If you want Market Day products delivered to your home, you can support  Bell by ordering Market Day from Peapod and entering code MD10099.   
  

Bell School receives about 10% profit from orders picked up at school and 5% of Market Day purchases from Peapod.  Either way, you get great deals on delicious food items.

Market Day offers a variety of promos and specials every month. Monthly features include pies, pizzas, and holiday items. There is also a "frequent buyer" program.

Volunteers are always welcome and needed for Market Day Pickup. Just come to the school lunchroom between 1:30-4 p.m. on pickup days to help get orders ready. See the complete Market Day schedule below. 

Have a question or want to volunteer? Call Susan Vlodek at 871-1304 or Eleanor O'Driscoll at 296-6126.

Activities occur throughout the year to raise funds to ensure a rich educational experience for all our children. Volunteers are always needed for these activities. Friends of Bell, a not-for-profit organization, sponsors many of the fund raising activities. Some of the fund raising activities are:

• The Bell Walk - Each student requests family, friends to sponsor her/him by making a monetary pledge for every lap the child walks on the playground). The event usually occurs in the fall.
• Early Spring Fundraiser - This adult event has included hullaBELLooza, auctions, and the 100% for the Kids direct appeal. It varies from year to year.  The Wish List is this year's fundraiser.
  
• MarketDay - Parents, family members, friends, neighbors, faculty and staff have the opportunity each month to purchase delicious food items each month.
