Burr Auction Is Live - Bid Now!




The Burr Virtual Auction is off to an amazing start… and we would love to keep the energy going! A handful of Burr parents have put in countless hours (and more emails than anyone should ever send in their lifetime) to hunt down all these donations and goodies for you, Celtics courtside seats, Patriots tickets, camps, birthday parties, restaurants, fitness passes, local experiences, you name it.

There is still so much great stuff to bid on.

If bidding isn’t your vibe this year, totally fine, you can still help by sharing the auction link with grandparents, relatives, neighbors, group chats, or anyone who loves a deal and loves Burr kids.

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!
