Global Community Festival is This Saturday
Come Take A Tour Around The World!

http://baileyspta.org

Hi everyone,

Our Global Community Festival is THIS Saturday, January 24 and preparations are well underway. Be sure to stop by our Global Village to learn about countries from around the world, then stay for our Heritage Showcase, featuring dances and performances that celebrate different cultures. Everyone is welcome to wear clothing that represents their country or state—we’d love to see our community’s diversity on display!

We’re also excited to announce our second Ultra Zone fundraiser on January 29 for all Bailey’s Primary students and their families. This is a fun opportunity to spend time together, and 30% of all sales will be donated back to our school to support programs, events, and resources for our students and teachers. We hope to see many of you there!

Please note that next week marks the end of the second quarter, and there will be a 2-hour early release. It’s hard to believe that half of the school year is almost over, especially with so many wonderful events still ahead.

Wishing everyone a great weekend!
