Borchardt Bulletin

Good evening Borchardt Families,

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms in our community! We’re so grateful for the love and support you give each day.

This week, our students will continue with their final i-Ready Diagnostic assessments. Please make sure your child gets plenty of rest and encouragement as we wrap up this important round of testing.

We also have a fundraiser at Casa Mexicana all week—when you show the flyer, 50% of all proceeds will be donated back to Borchardt! It’s a delicious way to support our students and school programs.

And don’t forget—Friday is Western Spirit Day! We’re celebrating our 6th graders and their “final rodeo” with a fun dress-up day. Students are invited to wear their best western gear (just a reminder—no cowboy boots, sneakers only, and all outfits must follow dress code).

Wishing everyone a safe and wonderful week ahead!

Warmly,
Bri Carroll, Principal

We’re excited to welcome back our former Borchardt Senior Bears for a special Senior Walk on Monday, May 20. Seniors will arrive at approximately 9:30 a.m. for a memorable morning celebrating their journey. We can’t wait to cheer them on and send them off in true Borchardt style!

Join us on Monday, May 12 at 8:30 a.m. at Borchardt Elementary for our final ELAC meeting of the year. We’ll be celebrating our students who have reclassified from ELD—what a huge accomplishment! We hope you can come help us recognize their hard work and success.

Get ready for Western Day: 6th Grade’s Final Rodeo! All students are invited to wear their best western gear to show their spirit.

Please remember:

• All outfits must follow school dress code

• We are a sneakers-only school – no cowboy boots

Let’s have some fun while keeping safety and school guidelines in mind! Yeehaw, Bears! 🐻✨

Our Lost and Found is overflowing with jackets, sweatshirts, water bottles, and lunch boxes! Please take a moment to check for any missing items. All unclaimed items will be donated to a local nonprofit clothing closet after May 23.

Join us on Saturday, May 17 from 9:00 AM–12:00 PM as we build and install new garden beds for our campus! These gardens will be used by classes throughout the year as part of hands-on learning experiences. Bring your gloves, your helping hands, and help us make our school bloom!

All students should have received a voucher for two free tickets to this Wednesday’s Stockton Ports game, starting at 7:05 PM.

A big thank-you to everyone who participated in the Fun Run—we hope you enjoy the game! 🐻🎉

Love Lodi is organizing a City-Wide Backpack Drive this summer. They are working with our school district, Lodi Police, local non-profits, churches and businesses to provide 1500 backpacks. If you want to partner with us, please email timothy@lovelodi.org.

Skip the cooking and support Borchardt Elementary at the same time! Every Thursday from 7:00 AM–9:00 PM, Denny’s will donate 20% of your purchase back to our school. Just show the flyer when you dine in or take out. Thank you for helping us raise funds for our students!

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!

Families, it's time to order your yearbook! Secure a copy now to ensure your student receives it in time for signing on the last day of school. Orders placed after May 1st will be shipped home and won’t arrive in time for signing. There is no official due date, but ordering early is the safest way to guarantee your yearbook arrives on time!

Did you miss last year’s yearbook? Good news—it's still available to order! Don't miss out on these special memories.

Order using link here.

Support our Borchardt Clothes Closet by grabbing a meal at Subway! Every Wednesday from now until the end of the school year, Subway (inside Walmart at 1601 S. Lower Sacramento Rd) will donate 20% of all sales to our school. Just bring in the flyer—hardcopy or digital—and enjoy a meal while giving back to our students! Thank you for your support! 🍽️💙

All Lodi USD students can enjoy a FREE nutritious breakfast and lunch every school day. That means no fees or meal applications required! Plus, the district-wide afterschool meals program is also no-cost.

UNIVERSAL FREE MEALS ensure that ALL CHILDREN get the nutrition they need to learn, grow, and succeed!
