Dear Parents,
Many of you have been able to see the artwork hanging throughout the halls of Burning Tree. Your kids have done such an amazing job this year. If you have
not seen it yet, I will be taking it down the last week of January, so please stop by before then. I want to say thank you to all my parent volunteers and a special
thanks to Mrs. Holden for helping to hang so much of the art.
