We have kicked back in our board student recognition awards for the year and Jim Maples Academy brought forward three amazing student leaders to be honored. I always enjoy starting meetings honoring the students we serve and remembering why we are here!

Had the privilege of delivering two more Superintendent Honor Coins today to two very deserving students. Definitely a highlight of my week to let a student know that a staff member nominated them and then following up with a positive phone call home!!

Wrapped up the end of the week on Friday hearing from some of our elementary students sharing their final presentations from their learning during the Young Entrepreneurs Lab. True engagement during this after school learning experience!

Our @BurtonSchools Nutrition Services team were bringing smiles to our WRB Bengals for Fist Bump Friday! Always a highlight for our Fridays!!
I had the privilege of getting some pruning lessons this morning from Jorge who is a valuable member of our Burton Team. He is a master at what he does and I always enjoy talking with him!! Thanks to him and the rest of our Grounds Crew for keeping things looking sharp!
Hearing directly from our students at the board meeting about the #BurtonExperience around the arts that is brought to them by our dedicated team of VAPA teachers. The Junior Theater experience for our high school drama team was a memorable one!
Our CTE Pop Up Event this afternoon highlighted some young entrepreneurs from @BurtonSchools who have created their own businesses with real business models in action. Impressive real world skills!! #BurtonExperience
Congratulations to our six future leaders who completed our @BurtonSchools Aspiring Leaders Academy! It was great celebrating their accomplishment with their families yesterday!!
Had a great time visiting the Fair this morning and seeing our high school students teaching our 2nd graders about all things related to the farm and animals. Always fun to see our kids out of the classroom and in different setting like this!! #BurtonExperience
Great reminder! The best conversations happen when you slow down and really be present rather than just visible!!
Your PACE tells people if they are valued or in the way. I used to rush through the building as often as I could and called it being visible. It wasn’t. It was fast. It was checking a box. It wasn’t connected. BE PRESENT. As much as you can. #LeadFromWhoYouAre

I had the privilege of meeting Scarlett from Ms. Kavern’s class at Buckley Elementary today and she walked me through her goals she has set which included academic goals and personal goals. Impressive progress! Definitely the highlight of my week!! #BurtonExperience
The SCIA Showcase tonight was spectacular! Amazing opportunities are available for our @BurtonSchools students. Shout out to the student leaders and the staff who helped make it all happen!! #BurtonExperience
The annual @BurtonSchools Spring Musical was another phenomenal production! Alice in Wonderland Jr. was the perfect musical to showcase our students’ singing, dancing, and acting talents. I was beaming with pride throughout the entire production!! Wow 🤩
I received this Thank You from our IB PYP program for attending the recent exhibition! These are the reminder of how important our work as educators is and the lasting impact we have on kids. Every student pictured completed a community project and made a difference!!
Another great Mental Health Event hosted by our Student Services Dept! So many members of our school and community came together to show how we all support mental health for our families. Proud that @BurtonSchools supports the whole child.
The Burton Middle School Showcase was another amazing display of the talent our kids have as well as the opportunities that @BurtonSchools has to offer. There are leadership, learning, arts, and extra curricular experiences for everyone!!
