THE BURR PTO PRESENTS 


Photo Day - Volunteers Needed




Parent volunteers are needed Friday morning, September 12, for Picture Day. 
It would be ideal if volunteers are available for the back-up rain date too (October 3), just in case.

Volunteers will assist photographers, organize class flow, and have lots of fun helping kids and teachers smile for their photos. Please sign up here. 

**You must have your CORI cleared by Ms. Studley (studleyv@newton.k12.ma.us) to volunteer for this event**

Your Kid's Classroom Needs You!


Burr PTO is looking for parents to volunteer as Room Parents for their child’s classroom this year. As a Room Parent, you’ll have the opportunity strengthen the connection between home and school. This year, Burr PTO will eliminate Room Parent emails - the roles of room parents will be focusing on being a liaison between teachers and other parents like being a contact person for the class, organizing class gifts, and coordinating class supplies. You can read our Room Parent guide here.


If you’re interested in making a huge impact and being more engaged in your child’s school experience, sign up on the SignUp Genius link here. Or contact kiki@burrpto.org.
