The Burke National Honor Society completed its food drive on December 18. We sincerely thank everyone who participated and supported this effort. Your generosity helped make this project a tremendous success.
Third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade students worked on developing their artistic skills, and their completed Christmas pictures were donated to the Gregory Nursing Home and Burke Community Meals. These thoughtful creations were a small way to help brighten everyone’s day.

As the seventh grade students wrap up their 7 mindsets lessons for the quarter, they put their learning into action by completing community service projects within the school. Students demonstrated responsibility, teamwork, and compassion as they work to give back to their school community. These projects allowed students to apply the principles of seven mindsets in a meaningful, real world ways, reinforcing the importance of service, leadership and making a positive impact on others. Way to go seventh grade!
