Opening Shots Snapshots from Burke’s

OPENING SHOTS Thank You, RBG!

The smoke-filled week in November 2018 was filled with anticipation, festivities, and tradition, one of which was the fourth-grade play, Thank You, RBG! honoring Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Our dedicated students put on a great show despite not having a conventional rehearsal space and practicing in declining air quality. Lower School Theatre Specialist Nancy Gold found a way to send the play to Justice Ginsburg, and the students received a wonderful note back!

Ribbon Cutting

At the end of the 2018-19 school year, Burke’s had a ribbon-cutting ceremony for our new Campus Center with our most important community members — our students! Excited faces were everywhere, and Head of School Michele Williams led a snake dance through the new space.

Visit to Sacramento

The annual fourth grade field trip to Sacramento had a surprise twist last May when our students were able to spend a half hour with Governor Gavin Newsom. The governor took questions from our curious students and talked about his journey to the statehouse!
