John G. Tower Elementary

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!!

Look at the EXCELLENCE at our school!! So proud of each of you for going above and beyond to ensure that your students receive the best instruction possible!!! BISD celebrated teachers designated to receive the Texas Education Agency’s Teacher Incentive Allotment. This is an incredible accomplishment for our staff and the district! The TIA process is an extensive, ongoing effort that rewards teacher excellence. Our district administrators at all levels have worked closely with TEA to ensure our teachers have the opportunity to earn this designation. Congratulations to our recipients!

Mrs. Whited, we honor you on this day, "Principals Appreciation Day!" You are EVERYTHING we could ever want in a principal here at Tower! You are loving, and you always put others before yourself! You are a true servant, wanting what is best for our Tower students! You make us want to be better: students and teachers alike! You lead by example: giving John Tower Elementary your very best, working all hours of the day and night in service of our students. We love you and very sincerely THANK you in every way!

The joy of giving (to our local Faith Mission, homeless shelter)! Love their smiles!

BIG congratulations to the winner of the Tower step challenge for the month of April: Ashley Cardwell with 417,000 steps!! Second place is Kamren Leon with a total of 401,000 steps! How wonderful to set such a beautiful example to our students and staff!

Happy School Lunch Hero Day!

Today we recognize the dedicated cafeteria staff who work behind the scenes to keep our students nourished and ready to learn. From early mornings to busy lunch lines, your hard work and kindness do not go unnoticed.

Thank you for making a difference each and every day!

Happy School Bus Driver Appreciation Day!

Check out some of our awesome 1st graders with their sentence writing and self-portraits! Each month, students will draw a picture of themselves along with sentence writing. Teachers have them displayed outside of their classrooms. It is so much fun to see their progress throughout the school year working on writing conventions and drawings!

The cutest Kindergarten students jumped, sang and laughed as their colorful ribbon wands filled the air at Family Night in the Park last night!

Don’t forget to check out some artwork from a few of our very own Tower Elementary kids while you are at Family Night in the Park tonight! Displays will be up at the community center until 7pm. Thank you very much Mrs. Spring for all of your very hard work for the benefit of our students!

💍 Today we celebrated a very special wedding in kindergarten…..the union of Q and U! 💕 In our class, Q never goes anywhere without U, what a perfect pair! Together, they make the /kw/ sound in words like queen, quilt, and quick. 👑🧵⚡ Our students had so much fun “attending” the wedding and practicing words with this inseparable duo. Ask your child about why Q and U make such a great team!
