"Thank You" from the Parents' Association As the temperature soars and the hallways empty, our hearts are full of thanks for all of the wonderful friends the Parents' Association (PA) has made this year.  As a result of the innumerable contributions from so many, this past year has been an outstanding one on so many levels (psssst....the PA presented Baldwin with a check for $150,000 last week!).  The PA Executive Board wishes the Baldwin community a safe, healthy and happy summer and we look forward to reuniting in September when we launch another year of extraordinary events for our extraordinary girls.
