The third, fourth, and fifth-grade students had the opportunity to greet and cheer on the members of the ALS Ride for Life, Monday, May 8th. This was the twelfth year that the Ride visited E.M. Baker School! Students worked hard to create signs and posters to cheer on the PALS (Patients with ALS).  We thank you all for the donations and support throughout these few weeks. 

A goal of the Shared Decision-Making Committee this year was to plant a community garden to engage students and provide fresh vegetables to community members in need. Fourth graders planted seeds in the classroom with help from parent members of the committee. Those seedlings have been transplanted into the Baker Garden!

Author and illustrator, Peter Catalanotto, visited the kindergarten, first, and second grades at Baker. Mr. Catalanotto shared many ideas about writing and illustrating with students and staff. One thing we all learned is that even mistakes can help us grow new ideas.
