🏫 Thursday & Friday: On-Campus Competitions
During school hours this Thursday and Friday, students will be competing in various events right here at the school.
Attendance: Because these events take place throughout the school day in various classrooms, these competitions are closed to the public. This allows our competitors to stay focused and keeps our campus routines running smoothly.

Events for Listening Skills, Oral Reading, and Storytelling will be held this Saturday at Bailey Middle School from 8:30 - 12pm.
Parent Supervision: Parents are required to accompany their children to Bailey Middle School and must remain on-site until their child’s specific competition is completed.
🎖️ Awards & Recognition
We know everyone is anxious to hear the results! We are currently finalizing the details for our Awards Celebration Day. As soon as the date is approved, we will send out an announcement. This will be the special moment where students find out how they placed and receive the awards they’ve worked so hard to earn.
