Firgrove Elementary

📣 A message from our new principal! We’re excited to share this welcome letter as we look forward to an amazing school year!

Hi Firgrove Hawks!

I’m so excited to officially introduce myself as your new principal!

I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to become part of the Firgrove community. Over the past several years, I've had the privilege of serving students, staff, and families in Puyallup, and I've always admired Firgrove's reputation for caring deeply about kids. I feel incredibly lucky that I now get to be part of that story.

A little about me: My husband, Lloyd, is also a teacher in Puyallup, and we have two teenagers who definitely keep us humble! We also have two rescue dogs, two Bengal cats (yes...I fully embrace my crazy cat lady status), and if I'm not at school, you'll probably find me cheering at a softball field, spending time on the water, or enjoying a Diet Dr Pepper that is almost certainly within arm's reach.

I believe schools are at their best when students feel known, families feel welcomed, and staff feel supported. My goal is for every Hawk to know they belong, are valued, and have adults who believe in them every single day.

I can't wait to meet all of you, learn your stories, celebrate your successes, and maybe even learn who makes the best cookies at school events (strictly for research purposes, of course).
Thank you for welcoming me into the Firgrove family. Here's to an amazing year together!

Go Hawks!
— Dani Baker
