March 2021
Hello Burris Families!
We are moving into March! It's hard to believe we are nearing the end of another 9 weeks, but here we are.
Our lifeskill for the month of March will be Perseverance. This is a great lifeskill to reflect on the past year. We have all met challenges and obstacles and we are still standing, pushing through and being successful. I think that you could say, that as Burris Champions, we are THRIVING!
