Programs

Baker HSC uses money raised from fundraising events to bring fun and enriching activates to Baker students. We rely on parent volunteers to run many of our programs, so look for opportunities to help. Here are some of the great programs we support. 


Donate To Baker's HSC

Gussie's Garden 

Gussie's Garden was originally the passion project of former HSC Co-President, Natalie Richter, and former 1st grade teacher Cindy Van Hoy. The project was funded by the HSC and over $12K in outside grants. The garden is now run by parent volunteer, Ada White and supported by the many volunteers that have come together to build and plant the garden. Gussie's Garden is a vibrant outdoor space where Baker students can learn all about how things grow.   

Bobcat families and friends are the key to our garden’s success!  To volunteer, please reach out to Ada White directly at gussiesgardenbaker@gmail.com or sign up at:  Garden Volunteer Sign Up Sheet   

There are many opportunities to plant, beautify and create learning moments for our Bobcats.  Reach out and let’s work together to make this space a memorable one for our students!

Outdoor Laboratory

A school garden is a perfect place for real-life, hands-on learning. Many teachers use gardens  as a laboratory to introduce a variety of topics, like the scientific method, plant biology, weather, insects, soil chemistry, and ecosystems. Did you know that students who participate in garden programs score higher in scientific achievement? 

♜ Chess Club

Invite your kiddos to learn and play Chess with their friends at Baker! They can practice their strategy, increase their intellectual dexterity, and sharpen their problem solving skills all while having some post-lunch fun every Friday, at the school library.
