All Things Baker!
Principal's Message!
I cannot tell you how excited I was to see everyone back to school and ready to go! It warmed me heart to see there were more smiles than tears! I know it is not easy to come back after a two week break, but we truly hit the ground running and I was so proud of the hard-work, dedication, and tenacity I saw in our classrooms! I saw no wavering in everyone's determination to start strong for the second half of the year!
I am filled with anticipation as I look to the rest of the school year. I cannot wait to see how much more we accomplish as we continue to make Baker Elementary, Where Kindness is King . . .Simply the Best!
Sincerely,
Danielle Wallace
