Dear Burr Families,
It was good to see so many of you on Friday night at the Burr Talent Shows. I think all who attended would agree that both shows were a huge success! We have an amazing group of talented students at Burr! The range and variety of talents were so much fun to see. I am so impressed with the bravery the children exhibited to get up on stage in front of so many people.
The evening would not have been possible without the commitment of our wonderful teachers. Ms. Tice, Ms. MacNeill, Ms. Mazer-Warren, and Ms. Barker who planned and organized the shows. We are also so fortunate to have a fabulous MC, Scott Helman (parent of Eli in grade 3), who generously takes time out of his busy schedule to support our students. Many thanks also to the numerous parents and staff members that helped with ticket sales, the concession stand, crowd control, and supervising the performers in the gym. This event would not have been possible without everyone’s combined efforts.
Students in kindergarten and grade one will have a chance to showcase their talents in the K & 1 Talent Show on April 12 at 9:00 AM. We will be sending out information about that shortly. Meanwhile, I know several students are already thinking about the talent they want to showcase.
This is a busy time of year. There are lots of fabulous community events planned in the coming weeks and I’m sure that I will see many of you at them. Please remember that, like the Talent Shows these events can only take place people volunteer their time to help out. Please be sure to check the PTO Calendar for upcoming events and contact the PTO if you would like to help out.
Finally, the Burr School Council will be sending out a survey this week to find out how connected Burr families feel to the school and community. Please take the time to respond to this survey. Your input is valuable because we will make changes and improvements based on the data collected.
Best,
Mindy
