International Night  
Mark your calendars for April 2!  Please join us for Burnette's first International Night!  It will be an evening of performances, displays, food and hands-on activities.  You will not want to miss it!  Each student has a blank paper person in their book bag.  Attached to it is a yellow paper with directions.  We are asking each Burnette student to decorate/dress their person in the clothing representative of their heritage.  We are blessed with such diversity here at Burnette.  It will be wonderful to see a display of child-made representations of all our cultures.
