This year Bailey Lake will assist 5 families this holiday! With the help and support of our students and staff, we are confident that we will be able to help provide a wonderful holiday for these families.
Adopt- A - Family items for purchase
Below is the link to our Adopt- A - Family items. These were all hung on the windows in front of the office. We have taken them down and added them to the link below. If you are able to donate please take a moment and select an item. If you would like to remain anonymous please call the office and we can input the information anonymously into the document.
Thank you for your generosity!
Gift tags also include gift cards, personal hygiene products, household items, and wrapping paper and bags for parents to have the experience to wrap the gifts for their individual family.
While you shop this holiday season, please keep the Adopt-A-Family Holiday Project in mind. We are also accepting cash or check donations this year.
When returning gifts to school, please attach the gift tag to the unwrapped gift and place it in the box indicated for that family found in the front lobby. All gift cards, cash, and check donations should be sent to the office labeled “Adopt-A-Family”

**SKI CLUB SPIRIT WEAR** DUE MONDAY, DEC 2ND
Here is the link to order online. All orders are due Monday, December 2nd! No late orders accepted. Delivery is targeted for the week before we leave for holiday break (goal: December 17th). This makes the spirit wear great holiday gifts!
When customers place orders, they will have an option to enter the school they associate with to help with distribution once the spirit wear arrives. We have also added an option for customers to add personalization to the back of their spirit wear... we thought it might be cool to have the last name of students on the gear. This is optional, of course, as it is an extra cost.
COLD WEATHER IS HERE
- WE GO OUTSIDE UNLESS ITS RAINING OR BELOW ZERO
- SOME CLASSES GO OUTSIDE TWICE A DAY
- IT MIGHT BE HELPFUL TO KEEP A SPARE SET OF DRY CLOTHING IN YOUR STUDENTS LOCKER
- LABEL EVERYTHING
- ALWAYS HAVE YOUR CHILD CHECK THE LOST AND FOUND

CALLING ALL DADS
Please be sure to have a renewed ICHAT form filled out prior to volunteering. Please contact the Main Office with any questions.
What is PTA? Why Join PTA?
Get Connected- There is no better way to know what IS happening in your child’s school, then volunteering for the PTA! PTA functions are opportunities to meet teachers, parents, build rapport and discuss issues that are on your mind. The committees that are formed- become like family! Discovering great resources that the PTA offers is not only designed for parents but for students, as well.
