It's back.........Little Caesars Pizza Kit school-wide fundraiser from March 7-April 7, 2022
Back by Popular Demand....and it's a great way to raise funds for Burkholder Middle School by simply purchasing Little Caesars Pizza Kits that you and your family can make at home together!
WE all like pizza and these pizzas are super good! All you need to do is just click on our school's link, Burkholder Jags, look over the available kits, and then pay for your cart using a credit card. The incredibly yummy kits are mailed directly to your house by FedEx. It is the exact same price to ship 1 or 2 kits, so I’m thinking everyone will want to order at least 2 kits or more.
You can even order kits and have them shipped to a friend or even a family member across the country. Or, you can share the link above and have a friend or family member order their own kit. Every kit we sell earns Burkholder MS a $6 profit and that makes an impact.
Let's all get ready to make a personally styled pizza at home, just the way you want it! Thank you so much for contributing to our school. Again, feel free to share information or the link with family and friends so they too can order pizza kits.

What is Happening in Our Classrooms?
Band
All of the band classes are participating in Sousa's March Mania, hosted by the United States Marine Band! This is a bracket style competition that puts 32 marches up against each other until one winner is chosen. The students are listening to marches every day and recording their favorite on their bracket and then voting online in the national poll. It's a great way for them to be exposed to this style of music and hear professional recordings, as well as learn about the history of band literature.
Congratulations to Ms. Glenn and all her students!!
