Wishlist is Bell's primary fundraiser for the following school year. Friends of Bell (FOB) works with teachers, administration, and the Local School Council to detail supplies, equipment, and experiences needed to provide students with a robust and exceptional educational school year. FOB, school fees, and building rentals pay for everything else on top of the basic staffing provided by CPS - from printer paper to curriculum to extra staffing.

Through the Wishlist, you decide exactly how your tax-deductible, financial contributions will support Bell. You have the unique opportunity to support the programs, subjects, and experiences that you or your child value. No donation is too small, and every cent goes towards enriching Bell!

Here's how it works:  

• Scroll down to see the Wishlist campaign items that Bell School would like funded for the 2026-2027 school year.
• Each Wishlist item page shows the total amount of funding needed (some Wishes require full funding for implementation).
• Please click on the Wish(es) you would like to donate towards

Although we highly encourage donating to multiple Wishlist items that you value, you will have to perform multiple transations to donate to different Wishlist items at this time. There will also be a paper form coming home if you'd prefer to donate via check.

Don't forget about corporate matching and share this fundraiser with friends and family! Thank you for your continued support!
