Bailey Bear Happenings - May 13th Edition

May 13th Edition

Note from the Principal - 8th Grade Completion Ceremony Invitation

Bailey Parents and Guardians,

It's time to celebrate our 8^th graders! After two years of Covid, we can finally gather again in the Big Gym. However, because Covid is still present in the community we are limiting our guests to 3 people per 8^th grader. Since the crowd will still be large, masks are recommended, but not required. Parking will be crowded so you may want to arrive a little early so you don't have to walk too far. Remember, the limit is 3 guests per 8^th grader.

Bailey PTA Needs YOU!

Bailey PTA is excited to be assembling our leadership team for 2022-2023 and our greatest remaining need for the team is a Treasurer! It's an easy job and our outgoing Treasurer will still be around, and can happily hold your hand as you learn the job! It's a great volunteer spot for someone who is organized and other than a monthly meeting (in person or Zoom, TBD for next year) can be done from home during non-school/work hours. Please email baileybearspta@gmail.com if you're interested or want more information!
