Some of my favorite puns to use when promoting this event:

1. Witch Way to Boo Fest?
2. My biggest fear? Fear of Missing Out!
3. Get ready to have an un-boo-lievably fun time!

The text and photos are moved to this blog post to preserve the history. The Teacher and Staff Appreciation Luncheon in 2025 was held on June 6, 2025.

​The PTO and Baker community proudly support and celebrate our amazing educators—and this spring, we turned the Baker library into a ballpark to do just that! With a Red Sox-inspired theme, families came together to throw a grand-slam celebration filled with delicious food, festive decorations, and heartfelt appreciation.

Thank you to everyone who pitched in—whether you brought a dish, volunteered your time, or helped us cover lunchroom, playground, or office duties. It was a true team effort, and we couldn’t have done it without our incredible community.

Photos from the event are now up! Check them out and relive the day we knocked it out of the park for our all-star staff.
