Long Weekend Ahead…

We know it’s Monday but at least we have something to look forward to! Here’s what you can look forward to at BURR this week:

Colin’s Joy Project/Helping Hand Rescue Mission Donation Drive — Week of May 20

This week help families in need through the Helping Hand Rescue Mission and Colin’s Joy Project. Helping Hand reaches children living in poverty with education, instruction, food, supplies and care. Colin’s Joy Project brings joy to children by rebuilding local play spaces and funding local family programming. Please donate gift cards (Amazon, Target, Walmart, CVS); summer items such as beach towels, water shoes and bathing suits, art supplies, books and school supplies, backpacks, diapers and baby wipes. Bins are located in the front foyer.

Grade 5 Spring Concert — Wednesday May 22

There will be 2 spring concerts on Wednesday May 22 at  10 a.m. and 7 pm. All performing students should arrive by 6:30 p.m. for the evening concert. All are welcome at the morning performance. You should have received your tickets for the evening performance. Please note that there is a special extra rehearsal for 5th Grade Orchestra at 8:20  a.m. on Tuesday 5/21 for Tuesday and Friday students.

 

Budget Vote and Trustee Election – May 21

The Commack PTA Council supports the Board’s presented budget. Highlights were included in the Commack Courier. Voting takes place at the Commack Middle School and Commack High School from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesday May 21. Click here for budget details.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Here is an important piece of legislation that everyone should support.  This year people will be allowed to vote up to 10 days prior to Election Day which means our schools will be open to everyone during this period. During elections, districts are forced to keep doors open, they cannot ask for identification, and they must nearly eliminate their security protections. We hope our elected officials will pass this important legislation.  Support NYS PTA in their actions.  Please follow the link below to sign up and let your voices be heard.

 

NO SCHOOL – May 24 & May 27

Have a WONDERFUL Memorial Day!
