THE BURR BUZZ

THE BURR PTO PRESENTS

Thank You to Our Amazing Volunteers!

The PTO would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the parents, students, and staff who helped make our recent events such a success. Our bake sale was a sweet triumph, thanks to the incredible bakers, sellers, and helpers who donated their time, talents, and treats.

A special thank you also goes out to the planning team and volunteers who made our Diwali celebration so joyful and memorable. Your creativity, teamwork, and enthusiasm brought the spirit of the festival to life and made it an event to remember for our school community.

We’re grateful for everyone’s continued support and dedication—our school wouldn’t be the same without you!

Holiday Tech Buying Family Seminar

The Burr Virtual Auction Starts Tuesday at 7am!

Our biggest fundraiser of the year kicks off on Tuesday, November 18 at 7am and runs through December 2. This year’s auction is packed with amazing items from dozens of generous local businesses including restaurants, fitness studios, family attractions, sports tickets, camps, home services, and more. There is truly something for everyone, with items at all price points.

Every dollar raised goes directly back to Burr to support teacher stipends, Creative Arts and Sciences programs, library books, and community events that benefit every student.

Please share the auction link with friends, family, and anyone outside the Burr community who might like to participate or shop for holiday gifts. If you are not able to bid this year, spreading the word is an amazing way to support the school.
