Traditions
At the start of every school year, students and staff at Baker Middle School invite members of the Damascus community and surrounding area to celebrate the annual "Flag Raising Ceremony". This event is often greeted with firetrucks and ambulances from the Damascus Volunteer Fire Department, and has seen guest speakers such as Montgomery County Public Schools superintendent, Dr. Jerry Weast, and former Montgomery County executive, Doug Duncan.

Famous quotes containing the word traditions:
“... the more we recruit from immigrants who bring no personal traditions with them, the more America is going to ignore the things of the spirit. No one whose consuming desire is either for food or for motor-cars is going to care about culture, or even know what it is.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
