Burleigh
Elementary School

Are you looking for a way to get more involved at your child's school? Please consider substituting as a playground/lunchroom supervisor! The commitment is 2-3 hours per day as needed, and schedules are flexible. Please contact [AP contact information] or Julia Lees at leesj@elmbrookschools.org with any interest or questions.

We’re excited to celebrate by highlighting the incredible local foods we’re bringing to your school lunch trays! 

On October 10th, join us for the Great Apple Crunch at our elementary and middle schools as we serve up crisp, juicy, locally-grown apples.

National School Lunch Week (Oct. 14-18) will be celebrated at our elementary schools, middle schools, and Fairview South School with delicious local, grass-fed beef nachos, packed with flavor and nutrition!

At the high schools, we’re kicking off the week on Monday, October 14th, with a local grass-fed Western burger. You won’t want to miss it!

All local, grass-fed beef is being sourced from Full Circle Community Farm located in Seymour, WI. Supporting local farmers means fresher ingredients and a stronger community.

Together, we’re making farm-fresh, nutritious meals part of your school day!

We are one big community at Burleigh working together for a safe and respectful environment.  While each classroom is like a family, each member of the family comes from different colored fortresses: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. 

Celebrating the First day of Lego League

Last weekend FIRST™ Lego League Team B.U.I.L.D. 44199 from Burleigh/PPMS competed at the Western Edge Invitational in Long Beach, CA!  Read about the big event here!
