Our school psychologist, Julie Gold, has initiated a winter clothing drive to assist Burr and Williams families who are in critical need right now.  It is estimated that there are over 50 families between our two schools who are in urgent need of warm children's clothing in sizes 4 - 18.  Contributions of these clean, used items are welcome:
Donations can be brought to the offices of either Burr or Williams schools.  If school hours are not convenient for you, clothes can be dropped off at Williams parent Carie Michael's house (266 Woodland Road) and left on the side porch.  Thank you for your help!

Fifth graders will exhibit their circus artwork in the cafetorium; the exhibit hours are 8 - 12 on December 23 only.

The circus gymnastics performance will take place from 10:30-11:30 a.m. in the gym. All students will attend the performance with their classes. Due to limited space, only families of 5th grade students are invited to the gymnastics performance. The entire Burr community is encouraged to visit our art exhibit!

It's not too late to thank your child's teachers with a donation to the Classroom Literature Fund! 
 
Donations to the fund are pooled and divided equally among all Burr teachers in the form of gift certificates to the New England Mobile Book Fair, where teachers can purchase books for their classrooms.  Along the gift certificate, each teacher receives a note with the names of the children who have donated to the fund in their honor.
 
Checks made out to the Burr School PTO can be sent to school addressed to the Classroom Literature Fund by December 19th.  Don't forget to include your child's name and the teacher(s) you wish to honor.  For more information, contact Sheilarae Lau at 617-527-8144.
