 THE BURR PTO PRESENTS 


Help the Burr Garden!


The Burr Garden needs YOU! For several decades, Burr parents have helped bring classes outside to discover the joy of gardening.

In 2023, families were invited to grow seedlings at home for the students to plant, and what a success that was! If you'd like to volunteer to grow seedlings for the 2024 garden, please sign up here! On Garden Day, students from each grade grow plants that correspond to the curriculum they follow during the school year. Please sign up for items you'd like to grow. Please don't feel obligated to fill all slots!
