Burcham’s Vision - Through academic excellence and equitable learning opportunities ALL students will succeed!

April 21st-25th - PTA Wellness Week:  As the PTA promotes wellness and self-care students will have an opportunity to participate in a variety of activities to help with self-awareness.  A calendar will be sent home during the week of April 21st.

April 22nd - Earth Day Spirit Day:  On Tuesday, April 22nd, students will have a free dress day around the theme of Earth Day.  We encourage students to design a “recycled materials” costume in an effort to conserve the Earth by recycling trash.  We will have prizes for the most creative costumes!  

April 25th - Lunch on the Lawn:  Join your Bobcat for Lunch on the Lawn on Friday, April 25th.  Parents will be able to enter from the black gates near the auditorium.  Please be mindful of street sweeping times.  If you cannot join your student, please make arrangements with a buddy student/family to meet up with your child.  The PTA will have popsicles for everyone and an opportunity to write encouraging messages to our 3rd-5th graders in preparation for State Testing

May 5th - Dress Like Your Teacher Day:  For Teacher Appreciation Week, our Student Council members thought it would be great to honor each teacher by dressing like them.  Maybe it’s something you add to your child’s uniform or maybe you want to go all out and create a mini teacher version.  We’d love to see all students participate.
