Dr. Owen will give a district update and then answer your submitted questions, and will end the Bulldog Huddle with a live Q & A that will allow you to ask questions in real-time.
Please note the daytime scheduling: Dr. Owen is filming during school hours so that our video students can benefit from this hands-on learning experience. If you can't watch live, you can always catch the replay. We hope you will take the time to join us!
Join us in welcoming elementary teacher, Zayda Walker, to Burkburnett ISD!
Zayda Walker earned both her Bachelor’s degree in Education and her Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Texas A&M University, graduating in 2022 and 2023. She has four years of teaching experience, working with both Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten students, where she has developed a strong passion for early childhood education and fostering a love of learning in young learners.
Growing up in a home centered around learning and childcare, Mrs. Walker was inspired at an early age to pursue a career in education. Her mother ran an in-home daycare, giving her firsthand exposure to how children learn and develop. This early influence, combined with her participation in a high school career-in-education program solidified her desire to become an educator.
Outside of the classroom, Mrs. Walker enjoys spending time with her family and friends, as well as her two dogs, Tootsie and Peaches. She loves staying active by playing golf and pickleball and has recently taken up Mahjong. She also enjoys crafting, being outdoors, and shopping.
As she begins her journey as a teacher at John G. Tower Elementary, Mrs. Walker looks forward to being a part of the Burkburnett community, and building strong relationships with her students and their families.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
This week, we celebrate the incredible BISD educators who inspire and make a lasting impact on our Bulldogs.
Thank you for shaping futures, encouraging growth, and making a difference in every classroom. We are grateful for all you do!
Thank you to our community group who worked hard to determine the projects to be included in the bond. And thank you to Josh Andrajack and all his personal efforts on the bond.
Our kids will benefit from this bond election in many ways for years to come. In turn, those same students will benefit the community of Burkburnett when they graduate.
Again, from all of us in BISD and from the School Board, we say THANK YOU!!

Because of their experience with project learning this year, some of our youngest Bulldogs stated that they have learned more about team work, finding solutions with peers, and feel better about speaking in front of their class during presentations.
“Brittany Andrajack embodies The Bulldog Way in both her leadership style and actions every day. Her focus on compassion and leading with kindness is the perfect match for our youngest Bulldogs at I.C. Evans Elementary. Under her leadership, our I.C. Evans team will continue to build upon the positive culture of growth and learning established with our students and staff,” said Dr. Audrey Ash, Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction.
Mrs. Andrajack has two children in the BISD school system. Sawyer is a seventh grader, and Leighton, is a fourth grader. She and her husband, Jake, will celebrate 15 years of marriage in June. She has served BISD for 16 years, 13 as a teacher and three as an assistant principal. A 2005 graduate of Burkburnett High School, she earned her bachelor’s degree from Midwestern State University in 2010 and her master’s degree from Lamar University in 2017. As a Burkburnett alumna, Mrs. Andrajack is deeply invested in the Bulldog community.
“I’m eager to serve the students, staff, and parents at I.C. Evans Elementary. I’m passionate about education and dedicated to this community. I look forward to what the future holds,” stated Mrs. Andrajack.
