Attention Parents/Guardians of Class of 2024 Senior!
Our Elementary Teacher of the Month for December is Mrs. Joani Platz. She is a fantastic educator to her students and a wonderful asset to our school district. She is more than willing to work with parents to personally make sure that each child in her class is thriving. She goes above and beyond and even takes one for her team by doing all winter recess duties. She is an amazing role model and displays all of our STING characteristics. Therefore, Mrs. Joani is a perfect candidate for our December Teacher of the Month.
Zala Richards is Bay Elementary's Student of the Month for December. She is always very compassionate about her classwork, as well as her classmates. She is never one to laugh or make fun of another student when they get an answer wrong. She is actually quick to defend and help them solve it. She always puts others before herself. Zala makes a great candidate for Student of the Month due to her empathy for others and strong passion to learn.
Bay Choir had a full day of caroling recently! Our Choir sang, and Sr. Band member, Nakita Box, performed on flute! We started at St. Bernard’s, and then we went to Ridgecrest and the Bungalows to perform.
Congratulations to Bay Elementary for receiving a check from Crowley's Ridge Educational Cooperative and APSRC for the PEER grant program. The check is based on student growth on the ACT Aspire test taken in the spring. We are so proud of all the hard work by the teachers and students.

Bay High School faculty had a PD challenge to complete two PD courses on Arkansas IDEAS and turn in the certificates to Ms. Sanders by noon today. Each completed course was one entry into a drawing for a gift basket. The two courses were "Hands on Nutrition" and "Mind Movement: Move the Body, Expand the Mind". These courses are part of the Bay High School Health & Wellness Plan for this school year.
