✨ Our final Bright Spot award of the year went to two teachers! Congratulations to Mrs. Nikokiris & Mrs. Stillman. The person who selected them said: “These two women have made my first year at Bailly an incredibly positive experience through their mentorship, guidance, and support. They have gone above and beyond not only to help me learn the ropes, but also to generously share their years of experience and creative ideas with me. Their selflessness and dedication to others are truly unmatched. I am proud to call them not only teammates, but also friends!” ✨
