THE BURR PTO PRESENTS 


Thank You for Sharing the Joy of Reading 

@ Burr Book Swap!



This event would not have been possible without the generosity of our book donors and the dedication of our volunteers. Thank you for coming together to support our school community.



You’re Invited: PTO Community Meeting (6/3) 




Join us for our annual PTO Community Meeting this Wednesday, June 3rd at 7:30pm-9pm!

We’ll be discussing highlights from the past year and our plans for the future, presenting and approving our budget, as well as voting in our PTO board officers. Principal Dr. Kotraba will also be joining us. Your participation and input are an important part of helping our PTO continue to support students, staff, and school programs in meaningful ways.

We welcome and encourage everyone to attend. We hope you’ll join us and be part of the conversation!

🌈 Burr Color Day is Coming! 🌈



Let's get ready for one of the most exciting and spirited days of the school year — Burr Color Day! This special community event celebrates teamwork, movement, cooperation, and fun as students work together through activities and games at Auburndale Cove. While everyone is encouraged to do their best, the focus is on teamwork and school spirit rather than competition.

📅 Date: Wednesday, June 10, 2026
⏰ Time: 8:30 AM – 12:00 PM
📍 Location: Auburndale Cove
(Students will leave Burr at 8:30 AM and walk to the Cove together.)

⚠️ Important Reminder: Parents/Guardians must complete and return the field trip permission form to your classroom teacher by Monday, June 1, 2026 in order for students to participate.

Students Should Bring:
Water bottle
Snack(s) in a brown paper bag or a plastic bag with your child’s name on it
Sneakers/active gear
Wear your grade color gear! Feel free to get creative with hats, socks, accessories, and more!

If you have any questions, please contact Shannon Komow. We can’t wait for a colorful and fun-filled day together!


Show Our Teachers Appreciation



NSF has supported every school in this district by providing educator-requested grants totaling more than $180,000 this year alone (and over $4million since1985).  We are a 501(c)(3) organization that exists solely to support Newton Public Schools.  To see how your school has benefited from NSF support, please see here. 

Each person honored receives a fun magnet (you see them around town) and we share the names with Dr. Nolin!  They are a beloved tradition among educators and staff!

Thank you for your consideration.
The Honor Thy Teacher Committee
