Happy School Lunch Hero Day! 🥪🍎 Today we are celebrating two very special ladies at Burke School who keep our students fueled, cared for, and smiling every single day. From early mornings to busy lunch lines, you do so much more than serve meals—you serve kindness, warmth, and a welcoming space for all. Your hard work never goes unnoticed, and our school is a better place because of you. Thank you for everything you do for Burke School—we appreciate you more than words can say! #SchoolLunchHeroDay #BurkeSchool #ThankYou

🌿🌎 Nature Day! 🌎🌿 We celebrated Nature Day by getting outside! Our 6th graders teamed up with our kindergarten students for a walk to the park, enjoying a fun nature walk together. 🌳🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ It was a great way to enjoy the fresh air and celebrate N Day! 👏

🍔 Grill'N and Chill'N in Burke today! Thanks to the Cattlewomen for grilling fresh local beef today! This is a student and staff favorite.🍔

Tomorrow is the LAST day of state testing!! 🎉 Our 3rd–8th graders are showing up with main character energy and finishing strong 💪🧠✨ We’re so proud of all the hard work they’ve put in—let’s end on a high note!

It’s our incredible teachers and our amazing school family that make this place feel like home! But at the heart of it all, is our fearless leader, Mr. Sanderson. Today, for “M Day,” we had the chance to celebrate him and all that he pours into our school each and every day. His leadership, care for students, support for staff, and sense of humor don’t go unnoticed. He leads with heart, shows up for people, and truly makes a difference in the lives of everyone in our school community. We are so grateful for you, Mr. Sanderson—thank you for making our school such a special place. 💙

"M" is for Mr. Sanderson! Ties, polos, Big Red gear, fishing wear, and matching tattoos were all in style today.

Mark your calendars!!!
