About Mrs. Baird

    
     I began my teaching career thirty-six years ago, and taught elementary GATE classes at Wishon, Gibson, Manchester, and Powers-Ginsburg before making the move to Computech eleven years ago to teach seventh grade Core. I am VERY glad I came here because I love my job! 

      I have been married for 34 years to Neil Baird, the GATE Program Specialist for Fresno Unified. He probably tested many of you for GATE. We have three children, all of whom were in the Edison-Computech six-year program. Erin, 31, is an eighth grade Core teacher at Computech and is married to EJ Hinojosa. Caitlin, 28, is the children's pastor at North Fresno Church and is getting married to Ben Friesen on September 18th. Gavin, 23, graduates from the London School of Economics as a Marshall Scholar in December with a Masters Degree in International Relations.

        Some of my favorite things are reading, Garfield, Little Thinker Beanies-especially Shakespeare and Einstein, spending time with my family and friends, shopping, and watching my students' reactions to Humor of the Day.
