This is a reminder that the breakfast program has started in the burgess cafeteria.
If your student has already eaten breakfast at home, they should not participate in the breakfast program.
Please remind your student in the morning as to whether they should be getting off the bus or not to participate in the breakfast program.
Dear Burgess Families,
Today, we discovered a student brought some spent bullet casings to school. The casings were shown to some students on the bus and playground. One of those students reported that to a staff person who immediately reported it to the administration. Upon learning this information, administration immediately requested assistance from our School Resource Officer [SRO] and police department. Searches of the school premises and buses were conducted and yielded one additional spent bullet.
It is important to note that this item did not involve any live rounds and only spent shell casings. Spent shell casings are not dangerous per se, but because they relate to firearms, they can cause fear among students and staff. All parents of students directly involved were contacted. Please know that we continue to work with the police regarding all of our security measures. We appreciate the responsiveness of the Sturbridge Police. We ask for the support of all Burgess families to ensure that the children are informed that these types of items should not brought to school.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Kathleen Pelley
Principal

April is Autism Acceptance Month, a dedicated time for raising awareness of autism and promoting acceptance in the community.
Autism is a developmental disability that affects how a person communicates and interacts with the world around them.
Mrs. Howe’s 3rd grade classroom today had the pleasure to hear, Abigail Franco, speak this afternoon on ASD. Abby’s hero of a son, Zeke, was diagnosed at a young age with ASD.
We would like to give Abby a huge round of applause for going above and beyond today.
Knowledge is power.
