STEM Night was a huge success! We had a record number of STEM stations, ranging from our own Burbank families to BHS clubs to external supporters of Burbank such as Code Ninja, Code Advantage, Mathnasium, RSM, Eversource, Mass Audubon, and the Belmont Police and Fire Departments.
Another big thanks to Watertown Savings Bank for their generous sponsorship which helped to cover event expenses so the PTA can bring our community together for fun evenings like last Friday.
Finally, a huge thank you to our PTA and BHS volunteers who planned such a well-organized event and made sure everything ran smoothly. Several of the amazing volunteers who have planned this event for the last 2 years will be leaving Burbank in the spring when their students move on to the CUE, so please reach out to maryleeburbankpta@gmail.com if you'd like to get involved next year to make sure this event continues to happen every year.
Multicultural Night is coming Friday, May 2nd from 6-8pm at Burbank! Host a station or share a performance to spotlight a part of your culture by signing up here: Multicultural Night Signup. We want to showcase the diverse array of countries and cultures that make up our amazing community! Activities can range from cooking, interactive games or crafts, educational information, dancing, singing - the choice is yours. As always, we need help planning this event: email maryleeburbankpta@gmail.com to be included in the process!
