Bay Farm FOMO Alert

Evening on the Green
Evening on the Green This Thursday

Thursday, May 21 | 5:00-7:30 PM

From naan to pita, challah to baguette, every loaf tells a story! This month’s Evening on the Green is all about the breads that bring us back home.

Bring a favorite bread from your culture or heritage to share, along with a small label with its name, where it’s from, and why it’s meaningful to your family.

Pack your own picnic dinner too. The bread is just the best part!

The Glee Club will perform, so come hungry and ready for a show.

Bike to School Day
Bike to School Day is NOW Thursday, May 21!

Bike, scoot, or skate to school and join Bay Farm in celebrating Bike Month!

Due to a staffing issue last week, Bike to School Day has been moved to Thursday, May 21.

Date: Thursday, May 21

Where: Bike racks for TK-1 and grades 2-3

Bike to School Day is a great chance for families and students to try biking, scooting, or skating to school–or to celebrate the healthy, safe transportation choices you already make.

Please bike and roll with us this Thursday and stop by one of our stations at the bike racks!

Be A Part of It

Thank You, Bay Farm Community!

Thanks to the incredible support of our Bay Farm families and community this year, the PTSA recently approved funding for several exciting projects students and families will experience next year.

We are working on a new sound system so all students and families can better hear and participate in morning ceremony, along with new lunch tables and umbrellas so students can comfortably enjoy shaded seating in their pods.

We also funded classroom requests from teachers including microphone systems, rugs, furniture, and other items that help create engaging, welcoming spaces for our students to learn and grow. None of this would be possible without your generosity, volunteerism, and continued support. Thank you for investing in our kids!
