Attention 3rd and 4th grade parents! Does your student love to read? If so, please consider encouraging them to participate in Battle of the Books during the 2026-2027 school year. Battle of the Books is a reading club for 4th and 5th graders that promotes reading a variety of children's literature while building teamwork through competitions based on knowledge of books from a 20-title reading list. Throughout the season, students enjoy weekly quizzes, games, and interactive activities that make reading fun and help them prepare for success in team battles. Each student will read 5 to 7 books, on average, but they are encouraged to read as many as possible.  Each team is led by a Burleigh parent volunteer. Meetings will take place on Tuesdays from 3:45-4:45pm in the library, though there may be flexibility on meeting time/day. We will most likely begin our weekly meetings in the late fall (October/November) and then finish our season in late February.

The Fun Run Committee is already hard at work planning for an exciting year ahead, and we
need your support! We are currently seeking sponsors who want to showcase their business

Your sponsorship helps make a meaningful impact, as all funds raised during the Fun Run
directly benefit Burleigh Elementary students and staff. These funds support a wide range of
activities and initiatives, including:

• Movie & Food Truck Nights
• High Interest Days
• Halloween Parties
• 5th Grade Graduation
• Teacher Supplies & Books
• Teacher Appreciation Events
•  Field Trip Transportation

educational experience for our students and strengthening the community spirit at Burleigh
Elementary. Together, we can make a difference!
