The 2025-2026 school year started and a lot of exciting things are underway!
Gussie's Garden was originally the passion project of former HSC Co-President, Natalie Richter, and former 1st grade teacher Cindy Van Hoy. The project was funded by the HSC and over $12K in outside grants. The garden is now run by parent volunteer, Ada White and supported by the many volunteers that have come together to build and plant the garden. Gussie's Garden is a vibrant outdoor space where Baker students can learn all about how things grow.
Bobcat families and friends are the key to our garden’s success! To volunteer, please reach out to Ada White directly at gussiesgardenbaker@gmail.com or sign up at: Garden Volunteer Sign Up Sheet
There are many opportunities to plant, beautify and create learning moments for our Bobcats. Reach out and let’s work together to make this space a memorable one for our students!

A school garden is a perfect place for real-life, hands-on learning. Many teachers use gardens as a laboratory to introduce a variety of topics, like the scientific method, plant biology, weather, insects, soil chemistry, and ecosystems. Did you know that students who participate in garden programs score higher in scientific achievement?
