Fundraising & Community
Fundraising
Through our fundraising efforts, including Baldwin Blooms, the holiday wreath sale, spirit gear sales, and bake sales, Friends of Baldwin supports:
annual grants for classroom teachers and teachers in Visual Arts, Music, P.E. and Library;
class field trip and grade-level activities, e.g. JK/K trip to the Discovery Museum; 5th grade trip to Nature's Classroom, where kids can "think outside the books"; 2nd grade yoga;
school-wide enrichment events, e.g. Pajama Storytelling Night and author visits
community get togethers, e.g. Welcome Back Popsicle Party, and the Fall Fun Run
To help fund these enrichments, donate here. Learn more about our fundraisers and budget.

Baldwin Community Building
Friends of Baldwin events are a chance for families to meet and get to know one another. We're brainstorming ideas for remote and in-person activities. Let us know if you have any event ideas to share! In years past, some of our annual community events included:
FALL
Fall Fun Run
A fun day at Sacramento Field, filled with activities for the kids, game swap and clothing drive. The highlight of the afternoon is a Fun 1-mile Run around Sacramento field and the Baldwin School.
WINTER
Pat's Peak Ski Trip
Baldwin families head to Pat's Peak for a fun day of early-Spring skiing. Beginners, new enthusiasts, and season veterans take to the slopes, with a chance to come together with other Baldwin families during a scheduled lunch break.
SPRING
Baldwin Blooms
Friends of Baldwin's annual community celebration and auction fundraiser. A time for the Baldwin community to get together and have fun while raising money for the school through raffles and a silent auction for the school.
