School Announcements(Week of June 8, 2009):

The Summer Learning Workbooks will be coming home with every K-4 student before the end of the school year. Students who complete 50 percent or more of the weekly activities will be recognized at the beginning of next school year. The cost of the workbooks has been partially covered by a grant from the Ann Arbor Public Schools Educational Foundation and a grant from the PTO. Please consider making a donation to help cover the remaining cost - donations may be sent into your classroom teacher or dropped off in the office (checks payable to the BP PTO). Questions? Helen Starman, hstarman@comcast.net or 994-8553.
Fifth grade graduation is almost here! Graduation for the Burns Park class of 2009 will be held on Friday, June 12, at 10 am in the auditorium. Brunch (set up and served by 4th grade parents – thank you! )will be immediately following. Fifth grade parents, please watch your e-mail for a reminder of all the details of the upcoming graduation week activities. If you have any questions before then, please contact Kim Mass at nkhmass@selectivityinc.com or 213-5255.
The PTO is planning to help establish a vegetable garden for Burns Park school and is looking for interested volunteers. Coordinating and organizing will take place this coming summer and school year with planting starting in spring 2010. The garden, which will be just south of the new wing in the fenced-in area, will be for the whole school community. With enough interested students and families, we hope to make this a fun, educational, and productive project for all! If you are interested in getting involved in any way, please contact Lynda Norton (llnorton@okno.com). This is in the very early planning stages, and we will be working with folks from Agrarian Adventure over at Tappan to help get it off the ground (or rather, in the ground). It’ll be exciting for the children to see their school grounds come to life!
Parents, please come by and check the lost and found one last time before the end of school, as there is lots there, and it will all be donated after school on the last day. It is all nicely sorted so should be much easier to find things.
