This upcoming week on Tuesday, September, 26th we will have our Curriculum Celebration Night event that will be held in the gym, media center and courtyard. Come out between 5:30 -6:30 to learn more about the curriculum for your student's grade level, school's Title 1 information, shop the Fall book fair, and party in the courtyard to celebrate our school's success! We hope to see you then!
Also, don't forget our CandyMan fundraiser is currently running! Please help your student sell as every item purchased supports our school! The fundraiser will run until Oct. 9th!
Please read through the information in the newsletter below and let me know if you have any questions!

Book Fair Information
Get ready! The Scholastic Book Fair is coming our way (YAY!). Choosing their own books empowers kids and inspires them on their journey to becoming lifelong readers. AND—as always—every purchase at the Fair benefits our school.
Here’s what you need to know about the big event, which will take place from September 25th – September 29th, during the school day. Also, join us for Title 1 Curriculum Night on September 26th from 5:30p-6:30p.
Say goodbye to cash and hello to eWallet—your child’s digital payment account. Before the Fair, set up eWallet for worry-free, cash-free purchases. Anyone can contribute! Share each child’s eWallet so friends and family can add funds and give your kids more books to enjoy.
If you can’t make it to the Fair, then shop at our school’s Book Fair online. All orders ship directly to your home, and shipping is free for book orders over $25. Every online purchase will also benefit our school. Visit our Book Fair homepage to learn more and get started with eWallet and online shopping: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/baileyelementaryschool The countdown to more Bookjoy is on!
