Last spring Alan Baker, the custodian at North Woods Elementary School passed away suddenly. For the past 31 years, Alan and his wife Shirley worked hard to keep the school clean while providing a friendly face and warm smile for all who visited.
On September 24 at the school’s Open House, a flower garden was dedicated in the Baker family’s honour. Alan and Shirley’s children attended North Woods (then, Grey Central) and since Al’s passing, have all pitched in to help out Shirley and their school family.
