TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK 2024

National Teacher Appreciation Week is May 6-10, 2024.

We invite you to join us as we recognize and celebrate our amazing educators!

Teacher appreciation week is an opportunity for us to show gratitude to our hardworking and dedicated teachers and support staff members who play a crucial role in shaping the future of our Baker Bobcats. Thank you to every family who signed up to donate to the PTO Teacher Appreciation Week Celebration. The Baker PTO partnered with Baker parent, Soyon Heinzman, and they have a fun week planned for the staff with tasty treats that will be delivered throughout the week. 

If you did not get a chance to sign up, there are several ways that you can help us foster a sense of unity and appreciation across our school community. Whether it is a kind note or a token of appreciation, your gesture can go a long way. Thank you for helping us show our appreciation as a Baker Family for the vital role that our teachers and support staff play in the education and growth of our students.
