Hello Baker Friends!

My name is Janie Knowles and this will be my first year at Baker Elementary. I will be a Special Education Aide this school year and I could not be any more excited! This will be my first year in a classroom setting, but my third year in a Special Education environment. Becoming a teacher is nothing new for my family. My mother, father and older sister are all educators in the area, and I am so excited to be joining them!

I was born and raised in Mckinney, Texas but I graduated from Celina High School in 2014. After high school I was able to continue my education and athletic career's at Arkansas Tech University where I was a four year member of the Golden Sun softball team. I graduated from ATU in May 2018. 

Since graduation I have moved back to McKinney with my two dogs, began my training to becoming a certified teacher and become a softball coach for local club teams. I am very excited about this year in Prosper and becoming part of the Baker community! Let's have a great year!
