Welcome Ms. Baker

Dear Bellehaven students, families and staff,

I am so delighted to become a part of the Bellehaven community. I wanted to thank everyone for their warm welcomes. I have had the opportunity to meet and greet many of you and the one thing I have noticed about Bellehaven is the strong sense of community. I have noticed that many wonderful and exciting things are happening here and I am so honored to become part of them. With the NMSBA testing behind us we can now look forward to a wonderful spring full of growth and learning.

My door is always open and I look forward to meeting and getting to know everyone.

Thank you,

DeAnza Baker-Seidel
