The Baker Blast

Baker Families,

As we head off and start the winter break, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support and dedication to our school community. This holiday season is a wonderful time to reflect on the achievements of our students and the collaborative spirit that makes our school so special.

I wish you and your families a joyful and restful holiday filled with love, laughter, and cherished moments. May this time bring you peace and happiness, allowing everyone to recharge and prepare for the exciting new year ahead. Thank you for being such an integral part of our Baker family. I look forward to welcoming our students back in January, ready to embrace new opportunities and challenges.

Happy Holidays!

Jonathan Cross
