News and Updates for Burnside Families, Sept. 2019
What a Great Start!
Dear Burnside Families,
Here we are already halfway through September! I cannot tell you enough how grateful I am to see our school full of active and excited learners everyday at Burnside. Thank you for the support and encouragement of your students in preparing them for full days of learning.
We will send this electronic newsletter out every month or so. It is always full of important upcoming school-wide events as well as some fun photos and updates on what's new.
I look forward to spending the school year with you and your child.
Sincerely,
Jennie Bordonaro, BES Principal

Red Wing K-4 Connect
We are looking for people who would like to be a part of a leadership group of parents who work with school staff to plan events and activities connecting Sunnyside and Burnside. We meet monthly on Tuesdays with the first meeting being on Tuesday, September 24 at 6:00 at Sunnyside. Feel free to contact Jennie, BES Principal at jebordonaro@rwps.org with questions.
Garden Makeover
By now I'm sure you all have noticed the beautiful garden makeover in the front of the school. A special thank you to the Lewis family at Sargent's Nursery who made the whole thing possible. We had a great crew of volunteers that put in two full hours of hard worker to get it all planted. It looks BEAUTIFUL!

Burnside BEST
We had an all school assembly to wrap up a week of learning all about the expectations throughout the school. All students and staff went to 12 different locations in the school to learning about and practice the expected behaviors taught by the experts in the area. We ended the week with a Burnside BEST Assembly. Students learned about Burnie, our Young Burnside Winger (his brother Sunny hangs out at Sunnyside...). They also practiced the Burnside Chant with Mr. Gardener and they learned about BEST Bucks! BEST Bucks will be tickets that BEST staff may give a student who is showing exemplary behavior! BEST Bucks can be saved up and spent at the BEST Store which is coming soon! Stay tuned for more BEST adventures to come!
