John G. Tower Elementary

Mrs. Cardwell's kindergarteners were working on composing and decomposing numbers up to 10 this morning!

We need your help with this AMAZING "Hearts Around the World" Kindergarten Project! Do you know someone who lives in another state or country? You can help our Kindergarteners by asking your friend/family member to send a letter/card, explaining where they are from. Please include any information about why they like living there, or landmarks, etc. All cards/letters will be read to the Kindergarteners! They will learn so much! Please send letters to:
John Tower Kindergarteners
5200 Hooper Dr.
Wichita Falls, TX 76306
Thank you in advance!

Please join Burkburnett ISD in telling our School Board how much we appreciate them and all the work they do for the students in BISD. Happy School Board Recognition Month!

Here's "Sneak Peek" of our K–5 PLTW Showcase! After the Christmas program, parents are welcome to stop by, explore our students’ amazing creations, and take projects home (if applicable). Thank you Mrs. Rasch for your very hard work in planning and implementing the Showcase!

📢 Reminder: Early Release Tomorrow!

Don't forget - we have an early release tomorrow, December 19th at 12:00 PM as we begin our Christmas break.
Please make sure your transportation and pick-up plans are in place for the early dismissal time.

2nd Grade Students are getting into the holiday spirit sharing some of their themed writing in the halls! It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

John Tower Drama Club and Ukulele Club brought Christmas cheer to the residents of Brookdale Sikes Lake Senior Care on Monday afternoon! Thank you Mrs. Vivio for your leadership!

Let the official practice for the Christmas Program begin!

"'Tis the season to be jolly!"

The Ukulele Club had their first-ever performance last night at the MSU Fantasy of Lights! It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to show off all the hard work they've put in this semester. They did a great job performing and representing Tower Elementary in our community. Congratulations to the Ukulele Club students on a job well-done! Thank you Mrs. Vivio for ALWAYS going above and beyond for your students!

When walking down our 4th grade hallway, one notices beautifully decorated elves! Look closely at the happy faces! Our wonderful 4th grade teachers have intentionally encouraged our students to “feel” the spirit of the Christmas season with their festive and happy decorations! If we think about it, teachers are custodians of culture and spirit, especially during festive seasons. Mrs.McMath, Ms. Hudson, Mrs. Dimock and Mrs. Lemons, thank you for your vital role in translating the abstract concepts of joy, generosity and goodwill into fun lessons for our students!

Mrs. Rasbury's Kindergarteners had fun learning about magnets! Students investigated and determined which materials are magnetic and which are non-magnetic!

Our beautiful students continue to find joy in dropping coins in our "Faith Mission Box," to help those who may need a hot meal or bed overnight. Thank you Carter and Carsen for delivering the contents of our Faith Mission Box, which was $43, to Steve Sparks, the Director of Faith Mission yesterday afternoon. We now have an empty box in the gym and will continue to leave it there the entire year to teach the children compassion, even with small amounts of change or dollars!

It's a "Christmas state of mind" at John Tower Elementary!

🦃 NO SCHOOL - Thanksgiving Break! 🦃 November 24th - November 28th Wishing all our Burkburnett ISD students, staff, and families a wonderful and restful Thanksgiving break! Enjoy time with loved ones, give thanks, and recharge. See you back in class soon! Have a happy Thanksgiving! 🍂

We love seeing this! It says so much about our SRO that students were excited to save up their Bark points just for a chance to spend time with him. Thank you so much Lieutenant Deason for being awesome!
