All Things Baker!
Principal's Message!
I cannot wait to get back to school and see everyone! I want to thank everyone for a fabulous Grandparents and Special Friends Day! It was beyond amazing to see all the families and be able to share a special time of thanks and fellowship. I want to thank Miss Cynthia and the hard working cafe staff that worked tirelessly to prepare the feast and our specials staff who decorated and flipped the cafe between feasts! It looked beautiful and festive and everyone was served with a smile! Additionally, the front office staff checked in the huge number of people coming to celebrate with us and I cannot thank them enough!
I have so many things to be thankful for and, as the holiday season is in full swing, I want you all to know that my Baker family, that keeps me grounded, humble, excited, and inspired, is one of the things that I am the most thankful for!
Thank you all for your support and sharing your little people with us! Please remember, at Baker Elementary we believe In a World Where You Can Be Anything . . . Be Kind!
SIncerely,
Danielle Wallace
