— Fun and Sisterhood —

Since 1888, Baldwin's close-knit community has created a deeply felt sisterhood amongst our students, teachers and alumnae. This feeling of family is evident as you walk down the hallways, observe students’ interactions in and out of class or watch how Baldwin’s Bears connect across divisions and generations.

School spirit and our sense of sisterhood were important to Dr. Porges when she returned to Baldwin as Head of School, not least because she recalled how much fun she had as a student and wanted to ensure today’s students felt the same about their Baldwin experience. From the opening all-school celebration each year to annual theme songs and dance parties, the joy of our Baldwin Bears was felt inside and outside the classroom. Highlights each year include celebrating the birthday of Disco, Dr. Porges’ dog and our unofficial mascot, having Winnie lead all-school dance parties, food truck Fridays during the pandemic and many more moments of fun and sisterhood.
