2024 Arkansas Teacher of the Year, Beau McCastlain, made a surprise visit to Baker yesterday to personally say thank you to some of our teachers & staff for all the hard work that they do! During his visit, he was able to swing by Mrs. Garmon's room. What a fun way to celebrate our 2025 Baker Teacher of the Year during Teacher Appreciation Week!
Plans are being finalized for our PBIS Movie Event on May 20th! Please be sure to check your child’s backpack this evening for the field trip permission slip.
