Walking Path Help!

At the Baker School, we are trying to build a tarred walking path for our families and community to use, in our efforts to promote a healthy lifestyle. The current field behind our school is a grass field used for softball games. The grass surface is wet and full of goose droppings and is messy for our kids to be walking on prior to school. So, it is our desire to build a walking path made of some material that would provide for a nice walking path for our community. The walking path would go around the outside perimeter of the softball field, so as to not interfere with the games played there in the spring. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. You may call the Baker School at 508 398-7690 and ask for the P.E. staff.

Physical Education Challenge

Well another year has started and we are into our first year as an Innovation school. For grades K and grade1 they have Physical Education 4X/week. It is our belief that we can demonstrate an improvement in their fitness and skill level. We have begun to accumulate base line data and have some information from last year to see how a more typical school schedule of 2X/week compares with the new schedule. You may contact us at the Baker School should you have questions about our approach and goals. We have also completed the first Physical Education DVD video of our Physical Education Program at the Baker School and we feel it to be a valuable tool in helping to share what it is that we do with the Community and Parents. We are always available to discuss what it is we do and our belief that the more one is active the more brain connections are established in which academic learning can be enhanced. Looking forward to an exciting year, especially with our new climbing wall that was purchased by our parent PTAC association. So far, the children love climbing and challenging themselves, their smiles just say it all!
