Bailey's new hybrid Team 9, comprised of awesome 7th and 8th graders, had the opportunity to team build in the most creative way! The whole team met in the cafeteria for two blocks and enjoyed 4 different challenges to stimulate their minds.

Health students at Bailey Middle School had the opportunity to meet two emotional support dogs today, Officer Finn and Officer Sunny! These dogs have gone through two years of training to become emotional support dogs with the New Haven Police Department. Students have been learning about Social and Emotional Health in their health classes, and Officers Finn and Sunny allowed our students a glimpse into the social and emotional benefits of therapy dogs. Thank you Officer Lambe, for bringing in Officer Finn, and thank you Detective Boyle, for bringing in Officer Sunny to meet our Bailey students!
