This Month, the Pack Brings 

Learning to Life

In late January and February, Wolf Fund donations are bringing hands-on learning directly to Burr classrooms through Creative Arts & Sciences programs across multiple grades, from Drumlin Farm visits with Grade 4, to Force & Magnetism experiments at the Discovery Museum for Grade 3, to a Historical Women program for Grades 4 and 5.

These experiences go beyond textbooks, sparking curiosity and helping lessons truly stick. If you’re able, please consider donating to support these programs and future enrichment for all Burr students.
