My name is Mrs. Baird and I am thrilled to be a teacher at St. Mary's Institute.
I grew up in this area, and attended college and graduate school in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I am married, have three children, and two crazy cats! Our children all attended S.M.I. in grades K- 8. They are grown now and busy with careers of their own. We credit St. Mary's for giving them a strong academic foundation, great preparation for high school, college, and graduate school.
My hobbies include traveling, paper crafting, re-purposing furniture, and many DIY projects. I try to include some of those artistic and creative elements in our classroom and curriculum. My favorite quote is "God is Good" because He is, to each of us, ...every day!
