A unique picture at Baker-Butler

This is a unique picture that we took recently at Baker-Butler.

In it, we have all three principals who have ever served at the school. Keith Hammon (2002-2007) and Dave Cushman (2007-2014) came back to our 5th grade Moving Up Ceremony with Steve Saunders (2014-present).

They were joined by Ms. Jimmy Reid, the original landowner of our property. She lived here with her husband from 1950-2000, when she sold all 55 acres to Albemarle County to build a new school.

Dr. Marie Baker, widow of Colonel John Baker (one of our namesakes), also joined us for this event. Dr. Baker still visits Baker-Butler regularly, and she continues the tradition her husband started of bringing 2 bushels of local apples in the fall for the staff.

We appreciate the deep contributions of Dr. Baker, Ms. Reid, Mr. Cushman, and Mr. Hammon.

The end to an amazing 2017-2018 school year

We had a fantastic end to the 2017-2018 school year. Some of the highlights of the last week include Field Day, 4th grade Egg Drop competition, our 5th grade Moving Up Ceremony, and waving goodbye to all of our students on the buses on the last day.

Thanks to all of our students, families, and staff for an amazing 2017-2018 school year. We hope that you all have a wonderful summer!
