Student Spotlights – April 2025

First-grade students from St. James Episcopal School had an exciting adventure as they visited the USS Alabama for a hands-on learning experience. The field trip allowed the young learners to explore history and engage with the ship’s fascinating exhibits.

The first-grade students at St. James Episcopal School showcased their creativity and historical knowledge during their Living History Museum event. Dressed as historical figures, they brought the past to life by sharing interesting facts and stories with their classmates and families.

St. James Episcopal School’s kindergarten & first grade classes recently visited the Exploreum, where they enjoyed exploring a variety of interactive exhibits. The trip offered a great opportunity for the students to engage with science in a fun and exciting way.

Join us in congratulating band director Tanner Madden and his musicians on this incredible accomplishment!

Bayside Academy sent a strong delegation of 25 students to the 76 th Youth Legislature Conference in Montgomery over the Mardi Gras break. Students created and wrote bills to debate with fellow students from across the state in hopes of getting them passed and signed into law by the Youth Governor. Bayside had a record number of students whose bills were passed in the First-Year Chamber, including freshmen Braxton Bender, Huan Chen, Arabella Rowland, Emerson Gwin, Ward Hix, Zoë Langley, Hugh Ashurst, Joey Dorman, and Pedro Benassi Monegatto. Additionally, Pedro gained valuable leadership experience by serving as an officer for the First-Year Chamber.
Several Bayside students had the constitutionality of their bills challenged and were summoned to argue in front of the Supreme Court. Sophomores Dori Small and Amber Clemens and freshman Sims Goodrich each successfully argued before the high court, winning their cases by large margins with Sims winning 13-0 in a constitutional smack-down. Freshmen Burke Ramagosa, Arabella Rowland, and Braxton Bender were named among the outstanding First-Year delegates, with Braxton winning Best Bill. Finally, again breaking a Youth Legislature record, Bayside had six students whose bills were signed into law, including Braxton, Arabella, Joey, Emerson, Ward, and Pedro.
Two seniors earned spots at the YMCA Conference of National Affairs (CONA) in North Carolina this summer. Jacob Stallworth, who served as the House clerk, earned his spot at CONA by winning the Servant Leadership Award, given to the student who has demonstrated values of leadership, service, and faith, while Abby Schoensiegel was recognized as one of the top 25 delegates at Youth Legislature. Jacob and Abby will have the opportunity to debate and discuss federal issues facing the United States with students from 33 states across America. Most importantly, all 25 students were excellent representatives of Bayside Academy, having a blast in the democratic process.

“In February, the Baldwin County Virtual School’s cast of Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, the Musical! took special trips to Stonebridge and Elsanor Elementaries to visit the amazing pre-k, kindergarten, and first grade students!
With the Pigeon leading the way, they had an absolute blast sharing an interactive story, brainstorming hilarious new things the Pigeon should definitely not be allowed to do (and a few things he could do!), playing games, singing songs, and reading even more Pigeon books by Mo Willems. At Elsanor, the first graders were even able to write and illustrate new shenanigans for the Pigeon to get into!
Thank you so much, Stonebridge and Elsanor, for letting us spread the joy of storytelling and theatre with you!
The Pelican Players will be presenting Mo Willem’s Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, the Musical! on April 4th and 5th at BCVS.”
