All orders placed should be installed in time for the start of the 24-25 school year.


If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you to all of the volunteers that shared their knowledge, creativity, and most importantly their time!  PTA's are powered by volunteers, and Baldwin PTA is no exception!  Whether you are a board member, committee chair, room parent, donated supplies/materials, or someone who shows up when we need you, thanks for making 2023-2024 a great year!  We can't do it without you!

A Message from your outgoing President

June 2024 marks the end of an incredible journey.  The past 2 years have been filled with challenges, triumphs, and countless memories that I will forever hold close.


I want to thank each and every member of the Baldwin Community. Your support, dedication, and commitment to our school community have been the driving force behind every success we've achieved together. Whether it was attending fundraisers, supporting events,volunteering in some capacity, or advocating for our children's education, your passion and enthusiasm have been truly inspiring.


As I reflect on my time as President, I am filled with pride and gratitude for the opportunity to serve alongside such incredible individuals on the board. Each of you has played a vital role in shaping the success of our PTA, and I am profoundly grateful for your friendship, your guidance, and your unwavering dedication.


As I pass the torch to the incoming President, I do so with absolute confidence in the future of our PTA. I know that under her leadership, our PTA will continue to thrive and flourish, building upon the strong foundation that we've worked so hard to establish.


I want to thank you once again for the privilege of serving as your President.   As we embark on the next chapter of our journey, let us carry forward the lessons we've learned, the friendships we've forged, and the spirit of community that defines us.


Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for everything.
