On Friday, Burris had the first Funtastic Friday of the 25-26 school year. We were able to celebrate some special students and classes, including our Class of the Month, Mrs. Smith. Fifth grade won for the best attendance rate in the whole school. Students competed in a rock, paper, scissors battle. And fundraiser winners got to color bomb the principal. It was a great time for all!! #BurrisChampions #BurrisProud




Miss McCracken, a Burris fourth-grade teacher, was last week's Educator of the Week. We are thankful for all she does for her students and coworkers!!

Thank you to Lawrence County Tourism Director, Tonya Chastain, for sharing about Lawrence County attractions, persimmons, and festival history with our Burris students. During her visit, every third-grade student received a signed copy of The Predictable Persimmon by Mary Jo Huff. This was thanks to a generous donation from Danny & Ada Reynolds!

Last week's Burris Educator of the Week was Mrs. Abner. One colleague had this to say about her: "YOU are amazing! A beautiful, bright light for students and staff!!" Congrats Mrs. Abner and THANK YOU!!


A huge shoutout to the VFW Auxiliary!! Yesterday, they dropped off a donation of much-needed tissues and wipes for Burris. We are fortunate to have amazing community partners. Thank you!
