| The library has hundreds of good books
to read. It also has a library full of video tape movies to borrow and
watch for free. It has a computer so you could find information on
the internet. It has english and spanish books. Mr. Duarte was the
librarian who took us on a tour of the library. He explained
the rules and the policy of the library. He read us a funny
story and told us funny jokes. Our class will have to come to the
library again to check out some good books. |
The Bell House is a blue and white two story
house. It has a tree in the garden and different types of flowers and
plants growing around it. The Bell House was built in
early 1869 and was owned by James George Bell. It is now a historical
site in our community. On the top floor, there is a wonderful
museum and has old clothes, toys, dishes, pictures and other things that
belonged to James George Bell and his family. |
| This is Bell's City Hall. At City hall the
mayor holds many important meetings to help run the city of Bell.
Our mayor's name is Ray Johnson. He controls the meetings and makes sure
the City of Bell has no problems. The city council members who help the mayor
conduct business of the city are
George Cole, Rolf Janssen, Ray Johnson, George Mirabel, George Bass,and
(Victor Bella). Maria A. was chosen from
our classroom to be the "Mayor" of Bell. You can see her with a gavel in her hand to call
the meeting to order. One day, she wants to be the first woman mayor of Bell. |
This is Bell's Police Department. Officer Mike Trevis is the
Chief of Police of the City of Bell. This is a picture of us in the police
meeting room. Officer Tony Danan showed us the guns and the finger printing
kit. At the police station, we also got to go inside a real
jail cell! It was not nice. We saw a glass case with old
police badges, pictures, and newspaper articles about Bell's Police
Station from the past. Officer Alicia Gomez took us to the Dispatch Room and
she explained how we should not play with the phone
and call 911 just for fun. We could get into lots of trouble.
The Bell's Police department does a fantastic job keeping our city safe. |
