Hi Borton Community!
It’s starting to get even colder outside, fall is turning to winter, and we are headed toward the end of this semester. Only three weeks left! December is a very busy month for us at Borton. We have benchmark assessments, winter sing along, and many more events. Please make sure to take a close look at everything we have coming up.
Hope to see you all soon!
Mr. Eric
Borton's Annual Jump-A-Thon
Join us on Friday, January 26th in the courtyard for this year’s student-favorite event! Students will have approximately 45 minutes to reach their highest number of cumulative jumps. This is a teacher specific event during school hours, so please ask your child’s teacher about their start time. We welcome all volunteers to help turn jump ropes or count jumps! Please turn in pledge sheets in to your teacher or the front office at any time up until 1/26/23. Students will receive a special Borton Jump-A-Thon bracelet for ANY pledge sheet turned in. Students will be sent home with their number of jumps the week after the event. Payment can be turned into your teacher or the front office.
Stories That Soar
The Magic Box performance and assembly will be on Friday, January 12th at 9am!
The Impact of Reading 20 Minutes Per Day!
Studies show that reading with your child just 20 minutes a day will help them to be exposed to more that 1.8 million words per year!
