Dear Bobcat Families,

It is hard to believe we have just two weeks of school before Thanksgiving break! During this season, I like to pause and reflect on all there is to be thankful for, and this past week at Baldwin Park gave me plenty of reasons. Above all, I am grateful to be part of a school family that cares so deeply about our students and one another. Your kindness, generosity, and support make our Bobcat community a special place to learn and grow.

That community spirit was on full display at Shindig! What a wonderful evening of mingling, talking, and laughing together under the stars. I also discovered that we have some truly talented dancers in our Baldwin Park family! While I was a little disappointed to be outbid on my auction item, I certainly went home with a full heart. Thank you to our amazing PTA for bringing us together for such a memorable evening, and to everyone who attended or participated in the silent auction, whether at the event or from home. Your generosity helps our PTA continue to provide wonderful opportunities for our students, staff, and community.

Our PTA food drive offers another meaningful reminder of what makes this community so special. Thank you for helping us care for one another and support families in our community. Each donation is an act of kindness and an opportunity to show our children how small contributions can come together to make a difference. I am grateful for the many ways our Bobcat families show up for one another. 🥫💛

There is also plenty of excitement to be thankful for in our STEM lab! Ms. Youngblood is doing an amazing job partnering with classroom teachers to give students opportunities to think, create, and innovate through science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. She brings learning to life as students explore ideas, build and test their designs, and work together to solve problems. It is wonderful to see our Bobcats discovering what they can accomplish with creativity, teamwork, and a willingness to keep trying!

As we look ahead to a festive and productive final two weeks before break, let’s keep our learning momentum going! A good night’s sleep and arriving at school on time help our Bobcats begin each day feeling rested, prepared, and ready to learn. Thank you for your continued partnership and for sharing your wonderful children with us. I look forward to the learning, laughter, and moments of gratitude these next two weeks will bring!

Go Bobcats! 💙🐾

With a grateful heart,

Mrs. G.P.
