We're thrilled to introduce our newest paraprofessional, Kristen Findley! When she's not at school, you'll find Kristen baking up something delicious, spending quality time with her family, or enjoying the great outdoors through hunting, fishing, and camping. She also coaches her oldest son's soccer team and loves cheering on college sports, especially football and softball.
Kristen chose to become a paraprofessional because of her genuine passion for working with children and her love for Tower Elementary. She's most excited about joining our amazing team and contributing to the incredible culture that BISD has built. As a bonus, she's looking forward to having the same schedule as her kids!
Please join us in giving Kristen a warm Tower Elementary welcome. We know she's going to be a wonderful addition to our school family!

In PE today, I announced the new squad lines for the beginning 6 weeks. When I called Dakston's name for squad 3 captain, he said, "Mrs. Cluley, you can let someone ELSE be squad captain? Maybe someone who did not get to be one last year." Putting the good of others before ourselves is so admirable and something we celebrate here at John Tower Elementary!
Here are the breakfast and lunch menus for August 2025.
We're excited to introduce Brandie Church, who is joining our food service team at Tower Elementary!
Brandie is a wife and proud mom to four amazing children – three boys and one girl who definitely keep her on her toes! She recently moved to Texas from Cheyenne, Wyoming, where she spent most of her life. While starting fresh in a new place feels a little nerve-wracking, she's mostly just excited about all the new experiences ahead.
Brandie brings a genuine passion for food service and years of restaurant management experience to this role. But what really drives her is her love for kids and her belief that well-fed students are students who can truly thrive in their classrooms. There's nothing more important to her than making sure every single student gets the nourishment they need to succeed.
When she's not in the kitchen, you'll probably find her behind a camera – photography is one of her favorite hobbies! But honestly, anything that involves her kids or helps other children is where her heart is.
She can't wait to start building healthy, meaningful relationships with all our students in the lunchroom. Her goal is simple: to make a positive difference in each student's day, one meal at a time.
We're so grateful to have Brandie join our wonderful Burkburnett ISD community. Please join us in welcoming her to the team!
Welcome to the team, Brandie!

We are delighted to welcome Vicki Carpenter to Tower Elementary as our newest paraprofessional!
Vicki brings a deeply personal commitment to supporting students with disabilities, drawing from her experiences as the niece, sister, and mother of someone with disabilities. Her mission is clear: to provide love, compassion, and advocacy for those who need help to be seen and heard. This heartfelt dedication makes her an invaluable addition to our special education team.
When she's not supporting our students, Vicki enjoys singing, tending to her garden, and volunteering with the women's auxiliary at our local American Legion. Her spirit of service extends well beyond the classroom and into our community.
Vicki is excited to work alongside our strong team of individuals who are focused on our youth and their education. She's passionate about being part of making the future of our community better, one student at a time.
Please join us in giving Vicki a warm BISD welcome! Her compassionate heart and advocacy spirit will make a tremendous difference in the lives of our Tower Elementary students.
Welcome to the team, Vicki! 🌻❤️
We are thrilled to welcome Cari Demers to Tower Elementary as our newest paraprofessional!
Cari is a proud Burkburnett graduate who is excited to give back to the district that helped shape her. She brings a heart for service and a genuine love for making a positive impact in people's lives. As a dedicated mother of five, Cari knows firsthand the importance of supporting young people in their growth and development.
When she's not in the classroom, you'll find Cari coaching and cheering on all five of her children in their various sports and activities. Her experience as both a supportive parent and mentor makes her perfectly suited to connect with our Tower students.
As a Burkburnett grad herself, Cari is looking forward to keeping the Bulldog spirit alive in every student she meets. Her combination of hometown pride, parenting experience, and passion for helping others makes her a perfect addition to our Tower Elementary family.
Please join us in giving Cari a warm BISD welcome! We're excited to see the positive impact she'll make on our students.
