Dear Burleigh Families - Friday is the last day for three of our Burleigh Family. Please help us wish a BIG Congratulations and a very HAPPY RETIREMENT to:

Mrs Kitty Janas, Associate Principal with Elmbrook School District for 24 years

A huge THANK YOU to Mrs Dorn for her fabulous work to transform the window display in the front hallway and bringing cultural awareness to all our students and staff. All year, we celebrated many different cultures in our display from Japan to India, then Nepal and China. Jewish to Columbian and ending with a display on Greece.

Thank you for sharing your talents with Burleigh Elementary!

Stop by Burleigh's Front Office and pick up our NEW Viking Blend coffee from Stone Creek Coffee. Only $15 per bag!

Artwork provided by Phoenix Hendricks who won the art contest to represent our school blend. GREAT JOB!

Fifth graders in Mrs. Verink's class enjoyed helping in the garden! Students helped to pull weeks, plant seeds, and assembly the new school garden bench. This bench was created from the many plastic bags we have collected this year!

A special thank you to Mrs. Rouskey for her time and guidance in the garden!

We are grateful to have had Newbery Winning Author Erin Entrada Kelly visit our school this week! 600 students from Brookfield Elementary and Burleigh Elementary attended the assembly at Burleigh. Amazing visit - enjoy a few pictures from that afternoon.

Students attended our All School Assembly sponsored by our Burleigh PTO this past Monday. Back by popular demand, the group Sheltered Reality returned to entertain our students and staff.

Sheltered Reality (SR) employs the power of music to engage and motivate audiences to make positive changes both in themselves and the world in which they live.

On Wednesday, May 2, Erin Entrada Kelly spoke to 600 students at Burleigh Elementary.

In our ongoing efforts to make our schools as safe as possible for our students, the Board of Education approved updates to the 2018-19 school year calendar that will result in students not attending school on voting days. Read more to review changes.

On Tuesday, April 17, the School District of Elmbrook's Board of Education approved Mekenna Ellis as Associate Principal of Burleigh Elementary School. Mrs. Ellis is currently a Reading Specialist and Literacy Coach for the Wauwatosa School District, a position she has held since 2012.
