In the last two weeks Teresa Burke has hosted two wonderful events. On the evening of September 28th the 2011 Honor's Banquet was hosted at the Thomas Jefferson Rec Center. This year nearly 160 students earned honors status by achieving proficient or advanced status in both Math and English on the 2011 CST Test. Students enjoyed dinner, which was served by the teacher's and administration, and a hilarious magic show. Burke's honor students also received a gold certificate of achievement signed by President Obama and a scholar's medal.
The second event took place on October 6th at the Fresh and Easy store on Hwy 46 here in Wasco. This was our second year hosting Teresa Burke Elementary Night at Fresh and Easy. Staff and teachers volunteered their time bagging groceries, handing out free samples, face painting, and collecting donation receipts. Fresh and Easy donated a percentage of the receipts collected back to Teresa Burke for teachers to purchase supplies for their classrooms. We will continue to collect receipts from Fresh and Easy through December 31st.
