A table full of smiles! Our 5th graders enjoyed catching up and spending time together at lunch.

Dear Bailey’s Upper Families, 

Thank you so much for attending our Back to School Night! It was wonderful meeting so many of you and seeing our school community come together to support our students. Your engagement and partnership are vital to making this a successful school year.

This week, we hosted several news stations to share about our new traffic garden in the bus loop.  Some 5th graders were interviewed for the news, and they did an amazing job!  Check out these highlights:

• Fox 5
• WTOP: How Fairfax County’s ‘traffic garden’ helps kids learn rules of the road
• NBC: Fairfax County students learn traffic rules on school playground
• USA9: Traffic safety lessons for Fairfax County students

Students are enjoying this new play area and we're looking forward to rolling out "driver's licenses" in PE so students can scoot around the blacktop.    

Please remember that there is no school this coming Monday. We hope you and your family enjoy the extended weekend, and we look forward to welcoming our students back on Tuesday morning.

Thank you again for your continued support and dedication to our school family. Enjoy your long weekend!

Go Tigers!
