Principal's Message
Good evening Borchardt families,
Thank you to everyone who came out on Friday to make our Color Run such a success! With your help, we raised over $2,500 to support our students and send our 6th graders to Science Camp.
A huge shout out to our amazing PTO for organizing, decorating, and setting up for the event. Special thanks to Amber Ramirez for creating the Color Run shirts and generously donating proceeds back to our students. We’re also incredibly grateful to Cane’s and the Stockton Ports for their significant donations and contributions.
We are so lucky to have such a supportive and generous school community!
This week, we are also celebrating Staff Appreciation Week! Our incredible teachers and staff work tirelessly to create a warm, welcoming environment where our students can grow, learn, and thrive. I encourage you to join me in thanking them for the care, dedication, and energy they bring to our campus every single day.
Wishing everyone a wonderful week ahead!
Warmly,
Bri Carroll, Principal

Attendance Matters!
We’re continuing to focus on strong attendance at Borchardt! Each month, we celebrate the class in each grade level with the best attendance—and in May, we’ll be recognizing our April winners with a SUPER Recess during the first week of the month!
At the end of May, we’ll also be celebrating all students with perfect attendance for the entire year. These students will receive a special prize and get to participate in our beloved Borchardt tradition—the Running of the Bears!
Let’s keep the momentum going—being at school every day and on time makes a big difference!
