“Neighbors are people who are close to us, and friends are people who are close to our hearts. I like to think of you as my neighbor and my friend.” —Fred Rogers

On May 23, 2024, The Baldwin-Whitehall School District hosted its third annual We Are Neighbors gathering, a special time of connection that celebrated our unity and diversity. This event brought our rich community closer through a range of enriching educational experiences and enjoyable activities suitable for every family member, including a delightful selection of international food trucks, engaging hands-on activities for all ages, and showcase presentations of students’ impressive work. Most importantly, it was a time to connect, share, and appreciate the unique qualities that make us a vibrant district and community.
