Burnette Blast
March 2022
Spring is Here!
February was another great month at Burnette! If you haven't already, please follow us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter (links are at the bottom). We are posting updates and fun pictures each week that I know you will want to see! We love celebrating all the amazing things our teachers and students are doing every day!
We have received a lot of information this week that you need to know about. Please read the following information carefully:
- This week the CDC provided additional guidance that allowed GCPS to transition from requiring masks to strongly recommending the use of masks. This means that masks are optional for teachers, students, and visitors.
- All classes will begin eating lunch in the cafeteria every day on March 7th. More information will be coming in the upcoming week(s) as to when families can join their child(ren) for lunch.
- Beginning March 7th, volunteers will once again be welcomed to the school. Parents who wish to volunteer should work with their child's teacher to schedule a day/time. All volunteers need to show their ID and wear a visitor tag for the duration of their visit.
If there is anything I can do to support you, please don't hesitate to reach out: 678-546-2170, sally.lehmann@gcpsk12.org.
Your Proud Principal,
Dr. Sally Lehmann

We had a BLAST celebrating reading the past two weeks! A big thank you to our Burnette PTA for helping us bring author Aaron Reynolds to our school. We enjoyed every minute of his visit and our students are begging to check out his books!
We also enjoyed every minute of Read Across America week, celebrating the JOY of reading! From pajama day to hat day, our book parade to a reading rainbow, we had so much fun!
Don't forget that new reading challenges are out for March! Ms. C and Ms. Nichols are combing two of their favorite things- basketball and books!- in our March Madness Reading Challenge!
All challenges are due on Friday, April 1. Happy reading, BES!
