I became involved with the Foundation because we all have a vested interest in seeing the students in Central Baldwin succeed. I graduated from Robertsdale High School, my wife currently teaches at Robertsdale Elementary where my two children attend. Being involved in the Foundation provides an opportunity for the community to make sure teachers and students of Central Baldwin have resources to utilize in their learning environment, which is essential in making sure they have every opportunity to succeed.
