a note from the Principal
As we begin conversations regarding wrapping up the school year, I want to begin by saying "Thank You!" We had a wonderful amount of visitors join us for our Art Show Tuesday evening and look forward to seeing many others at our Donuts with Dudes Event and Field Day, both on Friday, May 20.
Typically, as spring arrives, we see an increase in student misbehavior. Please have conversations with your child in regards to respect and keeping their hands to themselves. We appreciate your help as we walk these last few weeks together.
As always, we are thrilled to be partnering with you as we support your child's emotional, social and academic success!
Respectfully,
Rachel Cimek
Distinguished Artist - Blake
Distinguished Artist -- BLAKE!
Baker Elementary has a Distinguished Artist Program in which student artwork is on display like an art gallery for the school year. Each year 9 students are chosen as a Distinguished Artist. The distinguished artist is a student who is responsible in art, shows their creativity and works hard on all projects. Mrs. Spicer chooses 3 to 4 pieces of artwork in which the students followed directions and completed the project adding their creativity. A committee of staff members then votes on the projects to choose the winner.
Blake is the Distinguished Artist for her watercolor snail collage. This was a multistep project. First students drew a snail shell adding different patterns and line designs. Then they used watercolor paint to fill it with bright colors. We used different colored paper to collage all the pieces of the snail together. Blake was chosen for snail because she did a great job following all the steps and created a colorful, adorable snail!
