The Burke Fall Festival is a cherished community tradition. Every year, families and students gather at the East Burke Park and walk the parade route. The Student Council will run the Kids Zone again this year, with a bounce house and face painting (and ice cream too!). This a joint effort between the PTO and the Student Council, and all families are welcome to be a part of it!

If you would like to walk in the parade, please come to the East Burke park by 9AM on Saturday the 26th.

There are two opportunities for families to receives support from community organizations. Please click the link if you are interested in receiving support either from the H.O.P.E Backpack program or the Neighbor's in Action program. Both are aimed at providing food to families who may find themselves in need. Amanda Burger and Jo-Ann Golden are wonderful people to reach out to if you have additional questions or would like to discuss these options more. If you would like to register for either program, please click the link below and fill out the short form.
