April is National School Librarian Month April is a special time in spring when we can reflect and celebrate what our school libraries mean to us. Libraries are a great equalizer. Without libraries, only those who could afford a large selection of books, databases, and other print and online resources would have access to the wealth of knowledge and entertainment that has been available. Students can relax and unwind a bit in the library where they have scheduled time to be read to, hear about all kinds of books, and ask a librarian for help finding something that fits their interests. It is a place to do research, to learn life-long skills like locating library books, using online databases and checking out ebooks. Libraries open the door to our imagination and to what is possible, whether it be from finding facts or connecting with a book character. It is a place of wonder and exploration. It is a place for everyone! This month we are celebrating by having a book fair April 17-20th in the library. Tuesday, April 18th will be a special family night from 5 - 6:30 p.m. We will also continue our Battle of the Books in the lower grades, and all classes will all enjoy STEM "Tinker Time" during April. We are also giving kids the chance to write or record a video sharing what they like about their school library. Please help your child by clicking on one of the links below. After you click the link, your student will need to sign into their school Google Account (their Google Classroom sign in credentials.) Hope to see you in the library, Ms. Whitman Record a video: https://flip.com/groups/14454703/members Code: ce6ef895 Write about the library: https://docs.google.com/.../1FAIpQLSc2W3InjtR.../viewform...

From Mayor Lori Kemp: Today ranked at the top of my mayoral moments thus far. I had the privilege of spending my morning with the amazing kids who represent the S2S (student to student) Program at BISD, and signed a Proclamation declaring April the “Month of the Military Child” in City of Burkburnett, TX. Our chamber at city hall was filled with laughter and excitement from kids from all BISD campuses, their Principles & Vice Principals, administration, and even Dr. Brad Owen and Dr. Audrey Ash. The kids and I went live, took selfies, and, a few even took over the Mayor chair and hit the gavel! I love seeing our cities youth engaging in such a meaningful program. A program with the sole purpose of making new kids feel welcome in our community and making their transition into our schools as smooth as possible. I welcome, and cherish, every opportunity to involve and engage our youth in city government in hopes it will one day inspire them to step into leadership positions in our community and contribute their greatness to the future of our city! Thank you to Burkburnett ISD for such a wonderful morning, to all the kids who attended, who I hope will share their selfies, to News Channel 6 KAUZ for being there to cover the event, and to our City Clerk Margie Poole for being there on a city holiday to make all of this possible.

During this legislative session, our legislators have an unprecedented amount of additional funding to allocate. As with all businesses, the cost of doing business as a school district has skyrocketed. We need our legislators to make a statement of support this session for the 5.5 million students we educate in Texas schools, and for the over 400,000 school system employees! Increase the basic allotment and fund pay increases.
