Dress for your favorite holiday – no matter what time of the year it is!

Here is the schedule for the entire year.

Welcome back! I hope you all had a wonderful February vacation!

Over break we held our "Scooping for the Community" fundraiser at Gelato Fiasco

where our celebrity scoopers, Principal McKay and Principal Berkowitz enjoyed greeting and scooping gelato for those who attended the event.

We successfully raised $385.88!

Thank you to everyone who came out during that cold February day to enjoy a sweet treat,

and help raise money for the Bath Elementary PTA.
