Borchardt Bulletin

Good evening, Borchardt families,

A huge thank you to everyone who supported our first Family Sweetheart Dance! It was a truly special evening, and it was wonderful to see our students and families enjoying themselves. We’re excited to continue growing our PTO and family involvement to bring more events like this that strengthen our school community.

As we approach spring break, excitement is in the air! Please take a moment to remind your child of our school routines and expectations so we can all finish this season safe, focused, and ready to learn.

Thank you for your continued support! 💙🐻

-Mrs. Carroll

Principal, Borchardt Elementary

Join us in celebrating Read Across America Week from March 3rd – March 7th with a fun-filled spirit week inspired by beloved books! Each day has a special theme, so encourage your child to dress up and show their school spirit.

📅 Spirit Day Themes:
🐻 Monday – Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?
Dress like a Borchardt Bear! Wear a bear shirt, Borchardt gear, or bear ears.

🦓 Tuesday – A Bad Case of Stripes
Go all out with stripes from head to toe!

✨ Wednesday – Fancy Nancy
Dress to impress in a fancy outfit fit for a fabulous day!

🌍 Thursday – All Are Welcome
Show your culture with pride—wear something that represents your heritage.

Life is a fairytale! Dress as your favorite fictional character.

We can't wait to see our students bring their favorite stories to life! 📖🎭

To help keep our classrooms clean and protect our brand-new floors, please ensure that students' water bottles contain only water. Spilled drinks like juice or sports drinks can leave floors sticky. Thank you for your cooperation!
