FOOD FOR KIDS
Last week BTES students began their partnership with the Capital Area Food Bank to help provide weekend bags filled with meals and healthy snacks to more than 1,100 children of low income families in the D.C. area through the Food for Kids Program.
A brown bag was sent home to each of our 522 students to be returned to school filled with healthy snacks for low income children. In true Burning Tree fashion, over 900 bags were returned to school filled with a wonderful variety of nutritious snacks. Now that's NEW math! Additionally, our generous children donated over 75 pounds of halloween candy to be distributed to area shelters. A huge pat on the back to all our kids who took part in this wonderful program.
Stay tuned, in February we will see how many boxes of macaroni and cheese we can collect.

Payne's art class this fall and beautifully reproduces it on items such
as magnets, note cards, T-shirts, mugs, bags, journals, mouse pads,
tiles/trivets, coasters, night lights, and even calenders, etc.
NEW THIS YEAR: soap dispensers! mini notepads! wall clocks!luggage spotters!
You can see some of the items displayed in the PTA display box in the
lobby outside of the cafeteria.
Packets with order forms, information, and your child/ren's art work
has gone home, so please be on the lookout for them.
Orders are due back into BT by Wednesday, November 19th, at the latest.
Thank you in advance for your support of this Burning Tree Fundraiser.
