It takes a
Village.
Together, we make Burr Extraordinary.
Burr School is all about community. It is such a special place due, in large part, to our very active parent and neighborhood involvement. Friends of Burr is 100% volunteer run and we encourage participation by anyone with an interest in making Burr the best school it can be! Meetings are monthly and open to the public. Please join our mailing list or fill out our form on the “Volunteer” page and we will be in contact soon!
