Happy 2020 to all,
The decade in which our current Broncos have grown has flown by with lots of changes. Technology has evolved so rapidly which has really changed the way we communicate, teach, learn, view TV & movies, listen to music, purchase almost anything online, and so much more. I'm both excited and a little scared to see where all of this will go in the next ten years!
We are quickly approaching the time when we start our transition process for the next group of rising 6
th grade students coming from our three feeder schools (Huntersville, Cornelius, and J.V. Washam). The flyer for the events that will be held for 5
th grade parents and kids from our feeders starting in February will be published in next week's edition. Please note that we have two open school tours every month and the next few are on January 15, January 29, February 12, and February 26.
HUGE CONGRATS to the following students for placing in the CMS Dr. Martin Luther King Art & Writing Contest: Abigail Brown- 1
st Place in Middle School Writing and Lucy Manfredi- 2
nd Place in Middle School Art.
CMS County Reflections winners from Bailey are listed below. Congratulations to all four of these students!
2nd place Middle School Literature - Hailey Jeon
3rd place Middle School Literature - Riley Payne

Create a Great 2020,

Lighthouse Recognition Status
Our school will be seeking "Lighthouse Recognition Status" for the work we have done with Leader In Me over the past 4-5 years. Only a few hundred schools in the world have attained this recognition, most of which are elementary schools. We completed a mock evaluation before the break which showed that we have almost all of the pieces in place to join this elite group of schools later this year.
In order to do so, we need to establish a Parent Lighthouse Team in January. This group of parents should be those who currently use some or all of the 7 Habits with their kids at home and wish to help guide other families to do the same. If you are interested in serving on this team, please send Mr. Thomas an email by Friday, January 17.

International Night
Bailey Middle School's annual "International Night" is scheduled for
Thursday evening, February 20th. This annual event showcases and celebrates the diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds of the families at our school. This event is a great way to introduce Bailey students and their families to customs and traditions from all over the world. Every year the event gets bigger and better!
We are looking for parents and students to volunteer as ambassadors for their country/region by decorating a booth, dressing in traditional clothing, and sharing art, food, music, games, etc. Bailey will provide the tables for the booths.
As an incentive to volunteer, students that participate with their families by setting up a booth will receive extra credit (bonus points) in their choice of subject. Students that attend the event and get their passport stamped will receive extra credit in Social Studies.

A Winter Night of the Arts
Come join us for a Night of the Arts on January 14th from 5:30-8:00 pm!
Our Honors Art students will be putting their art on display in the Cafeteria with performances by our 8th grade Drama students.
Honors 8th Grade Drama will be performing student-written 10 minute plays at 6PM.
The Zombie Nightmare by Samantha VanDyke, Rund Faraj, and Ava Gossett
The Christmas Mystery by Sammy Knight and Anne Arms
Hank and Lance, On the Case by Taylor Shiley
Fresh Air by Ainsley Young
Beware the Sauce-Man by Nick Ruggerio, Omar Mercado Rodriguez, Owen Seeber, and Ben Lowe
Our other awesome 8th Grade Drama Class will be performing The Secret Lives of Toads by D.W. Gregory at 7PM.
Poor Harvey faces his first day at a brand new school, where things look none too inviting. The cool kids have staked out their territory on the playground, and there's no room in their cliques for nerds or dweebs or other kids with weird attitudes. When Harvey befriends these luckless souls, he is suddenly thrust into the middle of a simmering feud between them and the snootiest girl in school. Meanwhile, the frogs have their own ideas about what it means to feel stuck. The excitement peaks in the science lab, when frogs and kids find themselves thrown together on the wrong side of a locked door.
Tickets go on sale online on Jan. 6th at www.bmspabc.weebly.com
. Tickets will, also, be on sale at the night of the performan
ces. Cost is $2 for students and $4 for adults (this is a fundraiser for supplies for our Art and Drama programs). There will also be raffle items at the show, including Disney Park Hopper Passes.
We need lots of volunteers and donations to make these events a success, so if you can help, we would appreciate it so much!
