Dear Burbank Families,

Thank you once again to our amazing PTA for planning and executing another fantastic event for the entire Burbank School community, Burbank Lights the Way! Due to the weather, we moved the event into the gym, and it was still pure fun! Families spread out their blankets for the movie on the enormous blow-up screen (thank you, Paul Wyon!) while enjoying treats such as hot cocoa, cider, popcorn, donuts, and pizza. Children also had a wonderful time decorating pumpkins and luminary bags, adding even more creativity and excitement to the evening. A special shout-out to DJ Paul and DJ Carlos for adding even more joy to the evening. 

It was truly a night to remember, and we are so grateful to everyone who participated and helped make this event such a success. Your support continues to strengthen our community and creates lasting memories for our students and families!

Friday’s Fun Hair and Hat Day was also a big hit, adding even more excitement and creativity to the school week!

We also look forward to connecting with you during the upcoming conferences and sharing more about your child’s learning and growth.

As always, please never hesitate to reach out with any questions, concerns, or feedback.

Warmly,
Lisa

November is Indigenous Peoples’ Month, a time to honor the rich cultures, traditions, and contributions of Indigenous peoples. One way we are celebrating at Burbank is by creating a bulletin board to highlight the lasting impact Indigenous individuals have had on our local community, country, and the world. Families are invited to contribute photos, artwork, or other items, either as hard copies or via email to lwilliams@belmontschools.net. We will also share customs, historical facts, and highlight important Indigenous people during Morning Announcements. Our next All School Meeting on November 18th will be another opportunity for the entire school to recognize and reflect on Indigenous Peoples.

Special Veterans Day event - Burbank will host a special Veterans Day concert for local veterans this Friday, Nov. 7th at 10:30. This annual BPS event, which lasts approximately 30 minutes, is dedicated to honoring our local veterans. Our third graders will perform, and the entire school will be in attendance, making this a truly special occasion. All third grade families are invited to join us in celebrating our veterans. Our amazing music teacher, Shannon Sinclair, is preparing the students for this meaningful performance.

If you are a veteran and have not yet received an invitation, we would be honored to have you with us. Please let us know if you or a family member can attend by emailing me at lwilliams@belomonstschools.net. We look forward to celebrating together!
