We cannot believe that this month, we have two of our most popular events: Fall Festival and Trunk or Treat. We have merged these two events together to make this day double the fun! Our team of volunteers has worked SO HARD to make this event a huge success and now we need YOUR HELP! 

Just a reminder, a wristband is ONLY needed for attractions (think bounce house, petting zoo, etc.) and the event is free to attend.

Please be sure to read below for even more info:

• Purchase wristbands and tickets here: Baldwin Fall Festival
  
  
• Sign up for volunteer positions (before, during, and after the carnival).
  
  
• Not able to volunteer but still want to help? Check out our Amazon Wishlist. These items will be used to fill raffle baskets and as extra Trunk or Treat goodies.

  • Pre-K/Kinder- Coke 12 pack
  • 1st Grade – Diet Coke 12 pack
  • 2nd Grade- Sprite 12 pack
  • 3rd Grade – Dr. Pepper 12 pack

We are halfway through our Love Your School No Hassle Fundraiser and it is off to a Roaring great start! No door-to-door knocking; no selling candy or wrapping paper; just a donation!  Cutting out the sales of traditional fundraising items, allows Baldwin to put 100% of your generous donations (fewer processing fees) into our school’s countless programs and enhance the learning of our students!

Thank you for the many generous donations we have received so far! If you haven't had a chance to donate yet, you have until October 31st. We appreciate your support!

For more information and to make a donation, click the link below: https://baldwinpta.membershiptoolkit.com/loveyourschool

Submissions are judged by professionals in each category and advance to regional, state, and national levels. The final deadline to submit entries is October 27th. Want to learn more & get involved: www.baldwinpta.org/reflections

This month our Baldwin PE Wellness Unit is Cardiovascular Functions and Muscular Strength and Endurance. 

• Let's try increasing our heart rates for at least 60 minutes a day. Now that the weather is hopefully starting to get cooler, we encourage you to go outside with your families to achieve 60 minutes of daily activity. 
  
  
• Family nature walks and bike rides are an excellent way to do this, or playground fun is easy for kids to get their heart rates up!
  
  
• Marathon Kids also started at Baldwin. Parents don't forget you can log your child's Marathon Kids online, and these activity suggestions are a great way to increase miles outside of school! 
  
  
• Once you have your account set up, you can follow your child’s progress and submit miles completed at home. 

The 2022-2023 Baldwin Scholarship is here!  The Baldwin Elementary PTA seeks to recognize former Baldwin students who have demonstrated a strong commitment to education and their community.
