Happy kids, cool teachers, and water slide thrills today at the John Tower Field Day!

Suds, Slides and Sunshine made for a fun Field Day today!

A BIG thank you to our local "Special Olympics Texas" organization! Future Stars Day, led by our 5th grade Unified Buddies, was a day of practicing fun skills such as bowling, obstacle courses, balloon striking, and all the things for our littlest Bulldogs!

With much excitement, I announce the Tower PE Students of the Year: Leo, Erinn and Carter! These students exemplify integrity, kindness, and a "can-do" attitude in every way! Please join me below in congratulating them!

BISD Free Summer Meal Program begins June 1st at Overton Ray Elementary!

Our kindergarteners have been learning all about plants and how flowers grow! 🌱🌸 To celebrate Mother’s Day, students painted adorable flower pots and planted flowers to take home for someone special. We loved watching their creativity bloom while making heartfelt gifts for their families! 💕

Happy Mothers Day to all John Tower Moms! Thank you for the GIFT of teaching your child!

ALWAYS. For our students! 4th grade teachers ROCK! Read on! Which one is YOUR favorite?! Bulldog Hallway Heroes: A Surprise Boost for Our Students! If the hallways felt a little brighter this week, you weren't imagining it! 4th graders were in for an extra special treat this week. Their teachers had been working hard behind the scenes to level up their wing with some added love and motivation. Our students walked into a huge surprise as colorful, motivational posters appeared overnight, turning our hallway into a massive "cheering section." From big reminders of "Leave no Crumbs..." to simple notes like "We Believe in You," the decor is already a huge hit. It’s been great seeing students stop pausing to read a quote before heading into class. Tackling I-Ready Diagnostics The timing for these posters couldn't be better. This week, our Bulldogs are tackling their End of Year I-Ready Diagnostics. These posters are here to remind every student that all the hard work they’ve put in since August has prepared them for this moment. Why we’re doing this: A Confidence Boost: A little positivity goes a long way in shaking off those testing jitters. Celebrating Growth: This isn't just about a score; it’s about seeing how much every student has improved this year. Bulldog Pride: It’s a reminder that we’re all one big team! Take a deep breath, Bulldogs. Look around at those posters, remember how much you’ve learned, and just do your best. We are already so proud of you! 🐾🧡🖤🐾 Go Bulldogs! 🐾🧡🖤🐾

We sincerely thank Wichita Falls Mayor Tim Short for coming to day 2 of our Tower Bike Road-eo! A big thank you goes to Ashley Sisk, Bike Friendly, Wichita Falls coordinator, and Tish Beaver, TXDOT, for teaching our students WHY it is important to always wear a helmet! The students also learned hand signals for their safety, and the importance of wearing brightly colored clothing in order for them to be seen while on their bicycles! Oh, the smiles!! Enjoy the photos!

BISD and the Board of Trustees would like to say a big THANK YOU to our community and to our supporters who live outside of Burkburnett for voting to pass our bond propositions. In order for school districts to thrive and provide kids with the best educational experiences possible, you have to have a community that buys in and shows up when needed. Great schools don’t exist without a great community. We are blessed to have that here in Burkburnett in a big way!

Thank you to our community group who worked hard to determine the projects to be included in the bond. And thank you to Josh Andrajack and all his personal efforts on the bond.

Our kids will benefit from this bond election in many ways for years to come. In turn, those same students will benefit the community of Burkburnett when they graduate.

Again, from all of us in BISD and from the School Board, we say THANK YOU!!
