🎉 Huge shout-out to our FCCLA chapter for hosting this week’s Cougar Activity!
Our students took their Principal Principles lesson on competition a step further as the FCCLA members helped model teamwork and good sportsmanship through board games, practicing healthy competition, and supporting one another. 💪🎲
It was a great reminder that winning feels good, but lifting each other up feels even better! 💙
🎯 This week's Principal’s Principles focused on sportsmanship and competition! 🏅
It’s always nice to win—but that’s not what matters most. The real victory comes from learning, growing, and having fun along the way. 💪✨
🍪 The 6th graders have been hard at work learning how to divide fractions… and what better way to put their skills to the test than with a wacky cookie recipe! 👩🍳👨🍳
Math meets the kitchen as students adjusted recipes, divided ingredients, and were able to see just how sweet fractions can be!
Today, our Teens As Teachers group traveled to Pierre for a training session filled with learning, leadership, and fun! 🙌
They joined other student leaders from across the state to build skills, share ideas, and prepare to bring their lessons back to our own classrooms and community.
We’re so proud of these students for stepping up as role models and educators—way to represent Burke School District with Cougar pride! 💙🐾
Today our 8th graders attended Conservation Day at the Butte Golf Course Club House!
Students rotated through a variety of hands-on learning stations including Kerplunk Nitrates, Biodiversity Jenga, Jeopardy, Turtles of Nebraska, Trees 101, Soil Sponge, and Native Plants of Nebraska.
It was a fun-filled day exploring nature, learning about local ecosystems, and discovering how we can all do our part to protect the environment. 🌎💚
A big thank you to the organizers and presenters for making this such a meaningful experience for our students!
