Bailee is a current member of Girl Scout Daisy troop #663. She really enjoys being involved in activities that give back to the community and she has also formed some great friendships along the way! Some of the things she has done recently are singing Christmas Carols to the elderly, donating items to the women's shelter & selling those famous cookies!!!
Bailee was on the Orland Hills Wolves cheerleading team for the first time last year & she loved it!! Their team went on to compete & took 3rd overall in her division! She also plays t-ball for the Homer Glen Athletic Club and hopes to one day be able to "hold her own" on the field with her two older brothers. Bay has also been involved in dance for the past few years- including ballet, tap & hip-hop. She likes hip-hop the best & would like to continue learning new routines.
Bailee is signing up for another year of cheerleading and t-ball. She is continuing her classes in dance and also just finished a piano class & would like to start a second one this spring.
