The Burruss Weekly Newsletter

Thank you so much to all the families who made Teacher Appreciation Week so special! Our staff felt so loved! This community is such a special place.

Make-a-Difference March is really making an impact on our community! Thanks to all who have donated time, money, and goods. Our efforts will wrap up at the March assembly next Friday!

• School wide: canned food drive
• K-1 : cleaning up our campus
• 2-3: collecting blankets, towels, monetary donations for an organization called Mostly Mutts
• 4-5: assembling sandwiches, and collecting items for the sandwiches, for an organization called The Sandwich Project.
