Please join BISD in celebrating our amazing School Board. We will recognize them tonight at our regular Board meeting at 7:00 pm. Collectively, our Board has 70 years of combined service to BISD and the Community of Burkburnett. Five of our Board members have gone above and beyond and have completed the training required to become a Master Trustee.
Being a School Board member is oftentimes a thankless position, but we truly value the dedication and commitment our Board has shown over the years. They are Bulldogs through and through and exemplify The Bulldog Way! We say "Thank You" to Board President and Master Trustee Keith Myers, Board Vice President and Master Trustee Robin Bachert, Board Secretary and Master Trustee Les Healton, Board Member and Master Trustee Terry Klipp, Board Member and Master Trustee Frank Andrajack, Board Member Doug Smith, and Board Member Jimmy Beeson.

Wishing you a meaningful Martin Luther King Jr. Day as we honor his legacy of equality and justice for all.
Students in 1st-5th grade are stamping their singing star in their passports on the journey of music. Students created a video in tents or in the hall demonstrating how to stand on the risers, sing 3 vocal warmups, the 6 voices, a solfege scale with hand motions. In addition they had to sing The National Anthem, "The Journey of a Veteran," "Sing for Joy," and a military service song. They had to demonstrate beat, rhythm, and tempo, and improvise and compose a song. Lastly, they had to listen, reflect, and critique a peer recording. Congratulations to all the students and now we move to the percussion star!
Don't forget! No school Monday, January 15th in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
STEM Club is back and rolling along with our Yeti challenge! Students in our second grade STEM club were challenged to design the fastest Yeti using the Sphero SPRK. The race was very thrilling!
