Each spring, Baker Demonstration School holds an event that both draws the community together in celebration and raises much-needed funds for this growing school. In 2010, we debuted “Spring Salons to Benefit Baker,” a series of events that offered guests exciting venues, engaging speakers, dynamic conversation, great food, and wonderful company. Add to that a Fund-a-Dream effort to benefit every student, and you’ve got feel-good support from both our families and the community at large.

You are cordially invited to be a Baker student.

This special evening celebrating and benefiting our Baker community will engage you as Baker students, showcase a series of hands-on salons featuring Baker faculty, offer opportunities to share and discuss the topics presented, and demonstrate appreciation of learning, growth and community.

The evening will culminate in an all-community benefit dinner featuring guest speaker Susan Noyes, founder of Make It Better and past parent of her own Baker students.  New experiences, dynamic conversation, great food, and wonderful company are on the schedule for you, our Baker students for the night!

School starts Saturday, March 3rd at 6:00 pm

Meet your fellow students, enjoy cocktails and get assigned to your traveling groups.

Fund-A-Dream The community-wide effort to create designated science space on every floor of our school is in it’s second and final year. Last year, a science cart was funded for Early Childhood students and nearly $100,000 was raised towards a new, high school caliber Middle School science lab. This year, building on a recent gift of $200,000 from a current Baker family, we are nearing our goal of being able to both build the science lab this summer and also fund science carts for every Team in Middle class. More information about the bells and beakers, and how you can help realize these exciting efforts, will be available at the benefit.

To be a Baker student, please RSVP today!

Thank you to our sponsor for this wonderful evening
