Mrs Baird was my friend
In 13 years of working with her we talked about everything under the sun . We celebrated together mourned together we worked together.As mucked as she loved her family and friends she missed her husband every day. She was so proud of her children and grandchildren. She never took credit for their accomplishments. I will miss her always. LOVE ALICIA ALEXANDER

Mrs. Baird was my 3rd grade teacher at University Place Elementary. In a young boy's mind, she exemplified all the best qualities of motivation and instruction. A stellar credit to her chosen profession!
