Principal's Message
Good evening Borchardt Families,
We are less than one week into our Color Run Fundraiser and have already raised close to $500—what an exciting start! Thank you to our Borchardt community for your early support as we work toward our goal.
A huge shout out to our Borchardt Math Olympiad Team for an incredible showing at this weekend’s district math competition! Out of 22 teams, our students advanced into the 4th–6th grade tiebreaker round, demonstrating outstanding problem-solving skills, teamwork, and perseverance throughout the event. We are so proud of their hard work and the way they represented Borchardt. A special thank you to their coach, Ms. Flores, for her dedication and leadership in preparing the team.
Also, a quick reminder that this Friday is a Spirit Day—Crazy Hair Day! We can’t wait to see the creativity and fun our students bring to campus.
Wishing everyone a wonderful week ahead!
Warmly,
Bri Carroll
Principal, Borchardt Elementary

Color Run Fundraiser
We’re not even a full week into our Color Run fundraiser, and our Borchardt community has already raised nearly $500—what a great start!
Fundraising letters went home last week, and we’re excited to see the momentum build. If every student raised just $20, we would reach our goal of $10,000—a goal that will directly support Science Camp costs and help fund other fun experiences for our students throughout the year.
To make things even more exciting, we announced at Monday’s flag salute that if we meet our goal, Student Council has voted to turn Mrs. Handel and Mrs. Carroll into human ice cream sundaes at our May rally!
In addition, our top five fundraisers will earn the chance to silly string a staff member of their choice (from an approved list) during the rally—definitely something to look forward to!
For more details, please click the link below to view our donation letter and get started.
As of this week our top five fundraisers so far are: Nicholas Turner, Jacob Seroyla, Katalyna Turner, Luke Seroyla, and Kora Crow! Keep up the great work Borchardt Bears!
