Burke Bulletin #13

We are well into May, with the final 4.5 weeks of school ahead, and lots of stuff in the calendar! Our Mud Run was a huge (and muddy) success with smiles everywhere. This week, 3-8 is headed to the Wellness Fair at Burke Mountain with all the KESD third through eighth graders. Next Tuesday, K-2 is headed to the Montshire Museum for a field trip. The following week there's Memorial Day on Monday, and then PreK/K Round Up on the 29th. Middle School is participating in Experiential Learning on Wednesdays, heading off to bike, fish, golf and more with our staff and Experiential Learning group leaders. In school, we have students learning about Ancient Egypt, wrapping up Romeo and Juliet, practicing fractional reasoning, proposing school projects and preparing for graduation! This time of year is full of growth and we tend to see students blossoming in their learning and understanding. What a way to wrap up the school year!

As we all know, the school budget did not pass at the second vote. There will be a third vote for the School Budget in June. Please make sure you get out and vote when the time comes. As Ms. Moore shared recently, if the budget does not pass in June, parents should be prepared to find alternative summer plans for students who are currently enrolled in the KESD Summer Camp. ESY services will continue as planned.
