We are celebrating Georgia Pre-K week here at BPE! To celebrate we are sharing an amazing experience that the students in Mrs. Merritt and Mrs. Hutto’s Pre-K class had! They each received a copy of the book “Hey Georgia” by former UGA Wide Receiver, Super Bowl Champ and Author Malcom Mitchell! They loved the illustrations, created the letter G for Georgia and even had a virtual reading from Malcom himself! The Pre-K students then cheered on our state! Way to go Pre-K! #GaPreKWeek

For the past two years, the Columbia County School District has been delighted to offer breakfast and lunch to all children at no cost. This was made possible thanks to the generous support of the USDA reimbursing schools for meals served to students, regardless of household income. However, this funding will no longer be available next school year.

Congratulations to our 2022-2023 Baker Place Teacher of the Year- Ms. Kelley Igo!! Ms. Igo is our Art teacher and if you've taken one step down her hallway you've seen the countless, impressive and BEAUTIFUL works of art that our students create in her class! Our students look forward to their time in Mrs. Igo's Art class where she brings out their creativity in incredible ways! Way to go Ms. Igo, we are so proud of you! Thank you for bringing so much color to BPE!!! 🎨

Parents please be aware when you pick up your student before 3:40pm they are tardy. A doctor’s or dentist’s note will need to be provided for the tardy to be excused. Thank you!
