Math Kahoot Drop-Off Night

for 4th and 5th Graders 



We’re planning our first fun, drop-off Math Night (starting with 4th and 5th graders) and would love parent help to make it a great experience. Volunteers will help supervise students — no math background needed.

The goal is to make math feel fun and social for kids. We’re starting with a Math Kahoot Night with games and pizza, with hopes for more math nights in the future. Please check out the sign-up link to see how you can help.

Once enough volunteers sign up, the final date for the first event will be confirmed and shared.
Questions or ideas? Please contact Akram Kamrani (Maya’s mom, 4th grade) at akram.kamy@gmail.com.

🎯Help BURR PTO Reach Our Goal 🎯



Our Burr Wolf Fund provides the majority of the funding for PTO activities - cultural and community events (BooFest, May Fair, World Cultures Fair, etc.) and Creative Arts and Sciences programs such as the Whalemobile, the Chemistry Lab with Acton Discovery Center, and the Caterpillar Lab in the classrooms. 

Burr PTO spends $150/student to ensure that all students could participate in PTO/School sponsored events. And this year, in addition to our events, we have purchased new playground equipment — including 2 soccer nets, 18 tennis balls, 12 soccer balls, 12 basketballs, 12 kickballs, 12 hula hoops, 12 jump ropes, and a storage bin.

We are only at 23% of our goal. Please click here to donate. And don't forget to ask your employer to match your contribution!
