Baby CTY

Baby CTY is CTY for students between in grades 5 through 6, as opposed for regular CTY for kids in grades 7 and above. There is no corresponding CAA for baby CTY. Seperate sites are used for baby and regular CTY. Baby CTY uses the PLUS test or the PSATs as opposed to the SAT, like regular CTY. There is a very small group of people grades 2 through 4 that take a different test and go to their own set of sites, but this is insignificant. Only about a third of CTYers have gone to baby CTY. The term "baby CTY" is only used for unofficial purposes, but it is not pejorative.

There are a few people who have gone all the way from ultra-baby CTY (2nd-4th grade) to "big kids" or regular CTY. The ones that I (being Susannah) know of are:

• Adam Roush, Baltimore and Lancaster
• Susannah Roush (me! ;), Carlisle and Lancaster
• Rory Caskey, Carlisle
• Rachel Luban, Carlisle
• Daniel Luban, Carlisle
• Philip Nathan, Lancaster
• Rachel Todd, Lancaster

We all went to the Sandy Spring Friends School site: the only ultra-baby CTY site in Maryland. Please add to the list if you know anyone else!

Although Baby CTY has very little tradition, American Pie is the last song at the dances.
