Baker Family organization

Welcome to the Baker Family Organization!

You’re going to love being part of the Baker community, and the BFO is a big reason why. We are here to welcome you, stay connected with you, and get you plugged in to the goings-on and volunteer opportunities around the school.

We are also here to partner with teachers to create the best possible experience for our kids. This partnership is strong, and unique in just how many opportunities you have as a parent or family member to help make Baker better every day.

The BFO is YOU + US.

This organization is whatever Baker families bring to it. We encourage you to bring your creativity, your personality, and of course your desire to see your child thrive. The rest is up to you.

community connections

As a Baker parent or guardian, you’re automatically a member of the BFO! There’s no signup process. No obligation. If your child is here, you’re a part of us.

We have lots of social events you are warmly invited to attend, and joining in is entirely up to you (and your busy schedule – we know how challenging it can be to add anything to the calendar!). These events include:

    • Baker Sunrise 
    • Fall Fest 
    • Book Fair 

…and many other Baker Events

Many events are social as well as enriching. We might meet to discuss issues that are important to our community, such as diversity and inclusion or sustainability.

Service opportunities

If you’re interested, there are many ways to support Baker through the BFO. Service sometimes involves volunteering within our community, like:

  • Helping out at teacher appreciation events
  • Organizing community food or clothing drives 
  • Drawing from your expertise to lead educational seminars for parents or students
  • Serving on our Green Team which is focused on our Teaching Garden and helping Baker work towards less waste and green practices

Service can also involve outreach to the broader community. As BFO members, families help forge partnerships with organizations to create service learning opportunities.

Communications & Advocacy

The BFO is also a vocal advocate for Baker. If you have a gift or an interest in helping to promote the school, there may be opportunities for you to act as an ambassador.

In the past, there have been several events at which families acted as official ambassadors of Baker:

  • Farmers’ Markets
  • Race Against Hate
  • Open Houses
