Anne Baum loves teaching fifth graders!  She began teaching at Walnut Grove in 1997-1998 right after she graduated from Southwest Missouri State University.  Mrs. Baum and her husband, Steve, have been married for over thirty years.  Their great joy in life is their children:  Mike and his wife, Jessica, and Rachel and her husband, Aaron.  Mrs. Baum is very excited about another year at Walnut Grove.
