New Enrichment Classes coming in August!




FCA's first trip to camp Living Stones! We had a fantastic time together. Many students took part in the "Leap of Faith" exercise and everyone participated in the rock maze! We had an incredible lunch and spent the rest of the day playing group games. Thank you to Camp Living Stones for hosting us and to all of those who supported the funds for our trip!










Last week, our students proudly represented EKB at the Academic Olympics at TWU! Awards night for this event will be Tuesday, May 13th @ 6:00pm in the MCHS gym. We are so proud of their hard work and dedication!


Day 2 of Volleyball Skills Camp is coming up this week!


🩺 Happy Nurse’s Day! 🩺
Today we recognize Nurse Ferry for the essential role she plays in keeping our school community healthy and safe. From managing daily health needs to responding in emergencies, your expertise and dedication make a real impact.
Thank you for everything you do for E.K. Baker!


We are so proud of Bailee Chupp and Braylin Gonzalez from 8th grade! These two have worked extremely hard in both academics and wrestling. They both received awards and recognition at their recent wrestling banquet. We know they will continue to represent MCHS well next year as they continue to thrive in their academic and wrestling careers as high schoolers!


8th Grade Friendship Group took a trip to the Waffle House for breakfast! These students have consistently attended a lunch group this year that encourages friendship and life skills. We will miss this group next year as they continue on to high school!




5th grade created posters on the topic, "How to Be an Effective Leader of Social Change." They researched different influential leaders and listed their leadership qualities. We are encouraged to see many of these in our students, and we look forward to seeing how they make a change!


5th Grade had a fabulous field trip last week. Thank you High Point for a great climbing experience!








2nd Grade worked hard planting flower seeds yesterday!






Boys Basketball Tryouts are less than a week away.
Be sure to get your sports physical completed in time!
Any questions email Coach Stewart: estewart@mcminnschools.com


Volleyball Skills Camp is tomorrow! Please make plans to come and join us for this opportunity!


We'd like to wish a very Happy Secretary's Day to the people who keep EKB running smoothly! Ms. Jane and Mrs. Kristy go above and beyond to help and support EK Baker, and our appreciation is beyond words! Thank you to both of you for all you do!


We are excited about the new enrichment opportunities coming in August for our middle school students! Now is the time for your student to join the EKB family!

Mrs. Brannon's 5th grade heard from a guest speaker about Natural Disasters (Module 4 Topic) last week. Our guest speaker was Jeremy Hooper, who works with Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) and also with TEMA. He has been heavily involved with the cleanup from Hurricane Helene and Douglas Lake. Thank you Mr. Hooper for joining EKB and sharing your knowledge with us!







Attention all 6th-8th grade girls! McMinn West Volleyball tryouts will be May 19th and 20th at E.K. Baker. We hope to see you there!


Parents of EKB 8th Graders! Tribe Night is coming up quickly, and we are excited to see our 8th graders transition to the next step in their educational journey to MCHS! Tribe Night is an excellent opportunity to get an idea of what your child's class schedule and freshman experience will be like. Please make plans to be there if you are able!



Don't forget about an upcoming opportunity for a volleyball camp!


This month, Timbi came to visit EKB K-2nd graders! Our amazing volunteers read a book to teach our students about making safe choices and talking to their trusted adults. Timbi came as a surprise visitor for a last-minute dance party and fun pictures! Thank you to our volunteers from ATS the Bridge who helped put this together for us!
