Baker Buzz April 6, 2020
All Things Baker!
Principal's Message!
Another week of missing you all very much has passed, but also another week of eLearning success! I love seeing the pictures of everyone working so hard and still smiling! Teachers, students, parents, are all working to make the best out of this new normal. While we are forging forward, I want to remind everyone to give themselves and their kiddos lots of grace! It is ok if things are not going perfectly, it is ok if one day is great and the next day is not so productive. We are all just trying to figure out how this works for our families, for our sanity and our well-being. Please remember to take care of yourselves and your families. Everything else is secondary to that!
Please reach out if you need anything at all or if you know of a family in need of any assistance! If you are unable to get someone to pick up the phone at Baker, please reach out to me or Mrs. Roberds using our email addresses. One or both of us is at Baker every day!
Again, I miss you all tremendously and want you taking care of your families and yourselves!!
Sincerely,
Danielle Wallace
