Bayside's Art Guild Wins Jubilee Fest
|
|
The Upper School Art Guild, under the leadership of
senior Anna Schmidt and junior Hannah Wieland
, won first place in the Jubilee Festival of Arts Student Art Competition hosted by the Eastern Shore Chamber of Commerce.
Artists were asked to create works of art from trash rescued from Mobile Bay to line up with the spirit of Jubilee and the growing commitment to protect Mobile Bay. Under the guidance of Bayside's art faculty, the Art Guild created a large jellyfish sculpture—mounted on a found driftwood board—comprised of trash that was or could be found in the bay, along with photographic images of threatened marine life.
This is the second year for Bayside artists to bring home the top prize. The exhibition is open to all high school students from Spanish Fort High School, Daphne High School, Fairhope High School, St. Michael Catholic High School, Bayshore Christian School, and Bayside Academy.
Congratulations to our outstanding artists!

The
Charlotte Longfield National Flight Academy Scholarship
opportunity is posted on the college counseling webpage. Through the generosity of Steve and Charlotte Longfield, a Bayside sophomore or junior will have this opportunity. Please encourage sophomore and junior students with an interest in STEM fields to apply by the deadline.
Parents of seniors interested in Auburn—this is a reminder that
all application materials (application with essays, test score(s), and transcript/profile) must be on file in the Auburn admissions office (not postmarked) by November 1.
As long as there is one ACT score on file for admissions purposes, Auburn will be able to make a decision. If an updated score is sent, it must be received by December 15 (scholarship deadline) to be used for scholarship purposes.
Students who meet the November 1st deadline will receive an accepted, deferred, or denied decision on December 1. Due to the changes in Auburn’s admissions procedure, seniors have an opportunity to have a one-on-one conference with our recruiter, Josh Huggins. Interested seniors MUST sign up for these slots. They need to see Mrs. Blackwell to be scheduled for one of these meetings.
