The BH Open House was a huge success! It was so wonderful to see all the families who made it out yesterday. As we look forward to the first day of school on Aug 21, we would love to show our school pride and community support by wearing purple and gold or "Jacket Strong" apparel. This is to honor a recent GPS student who was lost and two others who are healing. We live in an amazing community and we always rally around one another when it matters most!

Join the Baldwin Heights staff for our annual Open House! Meet the teacher, see your student's locker and desk, and kick the year off right by visiting us at Baldwin Heights! :) In an effort to stagger traffic in the building, we'd like to have families come in from 5:30-6:15pm if your oldest child's last name is A-K; or 6:15-7pm if your oldest child's last name is L-Z. We look forward to seeing all our families for this awesome event!
