Bailey’s Upper Families,
This week, the School Board honored the Bailey’s Upper community with a proclamation celebrating our 10-year anniversary! It was wonderful to welcome Ms. Lemmon, our founding principal, and reflect on the incredible achievements of the past decade.
On April 4th, we will be hosting a special event to commemorate this milestone! While we won’t be able to open the event to the public, we will be live-streaming it so everyone can enjoy the amazing performances and speeches. Stay tuned for more details!
Our first week of the March Kindness Challenge is off to a strong start! Nearly every class has earned their special Blue PAW each day. We’re excited for another great week of students making strong decisions, showing respect, and solving problems.
Thank you for your continued support!
