Welcome to our New Year! We are working hard getting ready for the upcoming Fitness testing. Testing will begin the end of February or first of March. The current unit we are working on is rhythms. The students are enjoying dancing and getting creative with movement. We have some excellent dancers and had several staff members joining us for our "party" in the gym!!
If your child is interested in participating in Spring sports now is the time to start looking to sign up. Cobb County Parks and Recreation, Kennesaw Parks and Recreation, and Acworth Parks and Recreation and the YMCA all offer many different sports and activities for students and families to participate in at various prices. We are also fortunate to have several different activities available in our community to choose from : Golf, track and field clubs, tennis, gymnastics and dance just to name a few. As I receive information about what is available I will happily pass it on to you.
I also want to let everyone know that Mr. Sherwood, our PE parapro here at Baker, has decided to hang up his tennis shoes due to medical reasons. He has assured me that he will come back to help out and visit, especially for Field Day. We are saying a sad "so long" to Mr. Sherwood but are excited to welcome Mrs. Bethany Black. Mrs. Black has taught PE in Cobb County for 15 years and is excited to be joining us here at Baker. If you get the opportunity, please welcome her to our Baker family!
