NEW PRINCIPAL AT BAILEY!

Mrs. Benavides comes to Bailey from Arlington High School where she was the senior class assistant-principal. She was honored with a reception at Bailey shortly after her appointment; a select group of students from Bailey's orchestra provided background music as Mrs. Benavides greeted her guests. Currently she is meeting with each Bailey teacher individually to introduce herself and to get to know us. Bailey is extremely fortunate to have such an intelligent, energetic and talented new leader.

Recycle with the Rangers!

During the month of April, AISD held a recycling contest called Recycle with the Rangers--Go Rangers--Go Green. This contest was to increase the percentage of the amount of paper recycled at each campus over what was recycled in April of 2008. To encourage participation in the contest, we also held a contest at Bailey. Each time a student brought newspapers, magazines, junk mail and catalogs, the student’s name was entered in a drawing for a $25 gift card. Congratulations to our winners and remember-----RAMS Can RECYCLE!

 

Curb Appeal Partners SCM Real Estate and First Rate Inc., together with a dozen other businesses and individuals, are launching a campaign which unites corporate sponsors with schools in an effort to improve the outward appearance of schools. The group plans to make facility and aesthetic enhancements to additional campuses in the coming year. The Curb Appeal Partners program begins with a $12,000 facility improvement project at Bailey JH. To kick off the program, pilot sponsors SCM Real Estate and First Rate competed in a friendly basketball game at Bailey on April 17. Bailey’s Principal Jimmy Walker and AISD Board Member Bowie Hogg refereed the game. Both companies have donated $5,000 each to Bailey to make improvements to the school campus. The losing basketball team will make an additional $2,000 donation to the school.
