Bailey Bear Happenings - November 11th Edition

November 11th Edition

Bailey News

Today we held our Annual Veterans Day Ceremony. The staff, students, and parents welcomed 20 Veterans to the Assembly, including many parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, our own Mr. Gil, and Mr. Rocha's mother. Bowie's JROTC started the Event off in full regalia. The Band, Choir, and Orchestra played and sang masterfully. Thank you to all who came to celebrate our Veterans. We owe them a debt of gratitude daily.

Parents/Students please note that all of the "Lost and Found" items will be in the front hallway next week. Please have your students check for any lost and found items. Any items not claimed by Thursday afternoon will be donated to a worthy charity on Friday.

This Thursday 11/17 during all lunches Dena Davis and her team of realtors will help us honor all of our Honor Roll Students. Students earn Honor Roll Status by earning all A's (90 +) to gain a place on the A Honor Roll or all A's and B's (80+) to earn a place on the A B Honor Roll in all classes. Dena and her team are providing the delicious treats for our celebration. We are so impressed with our students and so grateful to Dena's team.

PTA General Meeting and Fentanyl Awareness Presentation

Join Bailey PTA for a very special presentation from Hays County Sheriff's Deputy Anthony Hipolito on Wednesday, November 16th at 6:00 p.m. Deputy Hipolito will discuss the current fentanyl crisis and what you can do to protect those you love. This presentation is appropriate for students as well as adults. Come with any questions you have.

Coats for Kids - sponsored by PALS

November 4 through December 4 the PALS will be collecting coats for Austin’s Junior League and Jack Brown Cleaners. These new and gently used coats will go to children whose families cannot afford them. The advisory class that has brought the most coats by December 4 will receive a popcorn party; there will be a separate competition per grade level. PALS will have boxes by the office to drop off coats, PALS in the morning in a designated area that students can give coats to, and students can always give them to their advisory teacher. Please inform students they need to put something on the coats that say the name of their advisory teacher so PALS can keep track of which classes have donated the most coats to win the competition. PALS will be by advisory classes throughout the week to pick up coats.
