G.O. Bailey Elementary School

📚✨ Did you know?
Students who attend Georgia’s Pre-K program enter Kindergarten more prepared than their peers who did not attend any Pre-K program.

This strong start sets the foundation for future success in school and beyond. 🌟

Join us as we celebrate Georgia Pre-K Week and the positive impact this program has on our youngest learners! #GAPreKWeek #4theT

Our G.O. Bailey 3rd graders had an amazing time visiting Destination Ag today! Students explored hands-on activities to learn how agriculture and forestry are a part of our everyday lives. From animals and crops to the tools farmers use, our curious learners got a chance to connect what they see in the classroom to the real world around them.

Last spring, the GOB Student Council sponsored a can tab drive in honor of Harper Webb. We're excited to share that this past week, we delivered seven large boxes of collected can tabs to the Ronald McDonald House in Macon, GA!

These small tabs make a big difference. The Ronald McDonald House provides a “home away from home” for families with seriously ill or injured children receiving treatment at nearby hospitals. They offer comfort, support, and resources—keeping families together during some of their most difficult times.

Thank you to everyone who donated and helped make this drive a success in Harper’s honor. Your support truly matters.

Thank you to our guest reader in Mrs. Brooks class!

Students in Mrs. Drawdy’s 5th grade class are learning about different types of technology used to protect from natural disasters. Students worked in groups to build a levee to protect their town from a flood. They observed their engineering process to evaluate if their structure would withstand a flood. Students had fun while learning and engineering.
