Shop For A Cause
Don’t just shop, Shop for a Cause and benefit the Bailey PTO!!!
Our new PTO fundraiser, Shop for a Cause, will allow you to shop mostly online while raising money for classroom innovation grants at our school. It also will support businesses that are locally owned, many by Bailey families. Here are the two main things we need you to do to support this fundraiser:
- Mark your calendars for the week of Nov. 2-8, and start making your shopping list (for yourself and others).
- If you own a business, whether you have a brick and mortar store or are a rep / consultant etc. for a direct sales company, and you are willing to donate a portion of your commission / profit from any sales related to this weeklong event to our Bailey PTO; please fill out this google form with the required information to participate as a vendor. *Note that you are welcome and encouraged to suggest vendors and businesses you’d like to see participate in this event, but consideration will be given to Bailey families before other members of the community.
All requests to be considered as a business owner / vendor / rep / consultant participant in Bailey’s Shop for a Cause must be submitted by 9 pm Thursday, Oct. 15. If multiple consultants / representatives from the same company apply to participate, preference will be given to the rep willing to donate the higher percentage of earnings to Bailey. If multiple reps are willing to donate at the same level, their names will go into a drawing to determine who will participate in the event.
We anticipate being able to share a preliminary list of consultant / representative participants by the end of the day Friday, Oct. 16. After that, we will see if there are opportunities to expand our event’s shopping options by recruiting additional businesses / reps from the wider Dublin community.
*Note: We already have reps from Rodan + Fields and Touchstone Crystal by Swarovski on board, as the women who volunteered their time to chair this event are consultants for those companies.

Membership Drive
As the school year begins and we are all navigating through uncharted waters, I wanted to let you know that the Bailey Elementary School PTO will continue to support the school, as we do every year. However, this year our fun family events, activities, and other school related functions might look a little different.
In a typical year, Bailey Elementary PTO is responsible for having special events for students and families as well as supporting our teachers with annual funds for their classroom and tokens of appreciation. Some events the PTO has sponsored include:
- Author visits
- Educational assemblies (World Showcase, Veteran’s Day, etc.)
- Field Day and Super Games
- Family Activities: Bingo Family Night, Holiday Shop, Art Show, VIP Breakfast
- Mini Course Night
- Bailey Bash, Bulldog 5K and Family Fun Run, Bailey at The Bogey
- Innovations Grants – in addition to annual funds, teachers can apply for grants for larger needs in their classroom, grade-level, or the entire school
We also support our community by:
- Giving an annual donation to PERC
- Offering two scholarships to high school seniors who are Bailey Alumni
- Donating money raised from our Smencil Sale to Dublin Bridges
This school year is different than any other school year Bailey has experienced in its 24 year history. The PTO could not provide all of the above mentioned activities and support to our teachers and community without your time and financial support. The PTO continues to find new and innovative ways to support our teachers and bring you events that so many families enjoy. However, the restrictions on gatherings due to the pandemic will significantly affect our biggest fundraising events, such as Bailey at the Bogey, Bulldog 5k, and Bailey Bash. Whether it is volunteering or donating money, everything makes an impact to our Bailey Community, and we appreciate everything you do to support our efforts.
If you would like to make a donation to support the PTO, click here or please visit our website at www.mybaileypto.com and click on the DONATE tab. If you are interested in volunteering your time, please contact the Bailey PTO at mybaileyPTO@gmail.com.
Thank you for your support of the Bailey PTO. We are truly lucky to have such amazing families at Bailey, and here’s to another wonderful school year!
