Thank you!
Our first Health and Wellness Week was a complete success! We hosted five days of activities, workshops, and exhibitions related to wellness, a healthy lifestyle, and disease prevention for our Baldwin community.
We would like to thank our school principals: Mrs. Maícha Porrata, Mrs. Nancy Pagán and Mrs. Elimari Sánchez, the teachers, the maintenance crew, the Technology Department and everyone else who helped make this week awesome. We must properly highlight our Health and Physical Education Department teachers, whom deserve a standing ovation for the work and energy they put into this event!
Finally, to our sponsors and our Baldwin parents, who supported this endeavor from the beginning and contributed to its great success: Dr. César Gómez, Dr. Miguel Santiago, Dr. Ingrid Puig, Dr. Pedro Díaz Ortíz, Dr.Manuel Del Toro, Dr. Iván González Cancel and Dr. Liv Cuyar, THANK YOU for advocating and committing to make a difference in the lives of our students and employees. We can accurately say on their behalf that your presence made a huge difference in their wellness week experience.
With a sincere and heartfelt appreciation,
Sheila Conley and Betzaida Rivera
