Upcoming PTA Events

We all miss our Buri Buri community, and the PTA wants to share our appreciation for our students, school, and community with some fun upcoming events. We hope that you will participate and join us!

Virtual Spirit Days

Almost all classes are gathering and connecting online through Zoom meetings or Google Meet. Let's add a fun twist to these class gatherings with virtual spirit days. Students are encouraged to dress up in the special theme during their class chat. For classes that do not meet on Fridays, they can coordinate with their teacher to determine which day of that week will be their virtual spirit day. 

Friday, May 8: Star Wars/Disney/Buri Buri Gear Day

Friday, May 22: Summer Vibes Day (students can wear sunglasses, summer shirts, hats, swim goggles, etc.) 

Bobcat Spirit Posters

Show the Buri Buri community your support by printing a coloring page (see the two images shown) and displaying it on the window of your home. These are easy to print at home, or you can stop by the main school office to pick it up (office hours: Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.). You can also display it on your car at the upcoming school parade.

Giving Tuesday

Giving Tuesday is coming up on Tuesday, December 3rd, and if you are looking for a great organization to support, we hope you’ll take a moment to give thanks to the Buri Buri teachers who are on DonorsChoose.org. This amazing website allows teachers to sign up for supplies for specific needs in their classroom, and on Giving Tuesday, 12/3/19, DonorsChoose will match donations with an additional 50%. That's halfway closer to the teachers' goals of fulfilling their classroom supply list!

Check out the links below to learn more about how to donate to our Buri Buri teachers’ projects.

Mrs. Garcia-Rovetta would like to add tablets to her classroom, so students can access programs where they can listen to books being read to them, while also following the words on the screen.
https://www.donorschoose.org/project/3rd-graders-love-listening-to-reading/4398386/

Ms. Marty teaches K-2 grade students with differentiated lessons and would like to add iPads as tools to customize learning for each student.
https://www.donorschoose.org/project/ipads-for-differentiated-lessons/4410476/

Ms. Hillman understands that students learn best when they are comfortable. She’s looking to add clipboards and lap desks to her classroom so her students have options for a comfortable learning environment.
https://www.donorschoose.org/project/better-seating-equals-better-learners/4218285/

Mrs. Beckett has an amazing book library for her students but it could use a little better home. A new book shelf will help keep the classroom books super organized and minimize wear and tear.
