Congratulations to our Bells Mill Girls on the Run team for completing their 5K run (3.1 miles) on Sunday,
November 16. Many teams from throughout Montgomery County participated in the run which started and ended at
Montgomery Mall. Congratulations to the girls for their amazing accomplishment of completing the Girls on the
Run program! They worked hard and learned a lot - we are proud of each and everyone one of them. Please take a
look at the website for more information http://www.girlsontherunofmoco.org/ . We hope they’ll be back in the spring!

The InView is a cognitive abilities test that helps us make instructional recommendations and Gifted and
Talented identification decisions. All students in Grade 2 will take the InView assessment on December 8 and 9.
To prepare for the test make sure your child eats a healthy breakfast, comes to school rested and on time. Students in
Grades 3-5 who are new to MCPS will be tested later in December. Parents of new students have been notified by
mail.

The SGA is asking for donations of new, unwrapped toys for their New Toy Drive, December 8 through
December 18. The greatest need is for toys appropriate for children ages preschool through middle school. Toys will
go to local families. Students should bring their donations to their classrooms.
Thank you for being partners in your child’s education
