11/16/25 Bulletin

Good evening Borchardt families,

Thank you for a wonderful Veterans Day celebration. It was truly special to honor and welcome so many of our Borchardt veterans on campus.

This week is Parent Conference Week. Tuesday–Friday will be minimum days, so please plan accordingly for early pickup to help us ensure a smooth and safe dismissal.

We’re also excited to host our Scholastic Book Fair this week! Students may visit before and after school or during recess.

Have a great evening,
Bri Carroll
Principal

Parent conferences are coming up the week of November 17. This is a great opportunity to discuss your child’s progress—please reach out to your child’s teacher to schedule a time to meet.

Our Scholastic Book Fair is happening this week, and we’re excited to share the joy of reading with our students and families! The fair will be open before school from 7:45–8:15 a.m. and after school from 12:40–3:30 p.m. Students will also have the opportunity to shop during their recess times.

Thank you for supporting literacy, classroom libraries, and our love for books here at Borchardt! 📖✨

Thank you for being an active part of our school community — your voice matters!

Families, we hope you will join us for our second annual Winter Wonderland event on December 12 from 5:00 - 6:30 pm. This event is completely free for all Borchardt families with crafts and games that celebrates holidays from around the world. Mark your calendars, we can't wait to see you there!

As we move into that in-between season - chilly mornings and warm afternoons - our kiddos have been taking off layers and leaving them behind. To help get items back where they belong, please write your child’s name inside their jacket or sweatshirt. If your student is missing something, stop by our Lost and Found located at the front of the school to look for and reclaim any lost items. We’d love to reunite these cozy layers with their owners!

Next week, PTO will be hosting a two-day Recycling Drive to help raise funds for our school. We encourage families to start collecting and saving empty plastic bottles and cans so you’re ready to participate. Please remember — no alcoholic containers may be donated.

There will also be a House Contest, so start gathering those recyclables and show your house spirit!
