Add to your home library or purchase holiday gifts at this fall's Book Fair. All sales benefit Burley!

Students will visit the book fair with their class to make their wish list. Books can be purchased with cash or a pre-purchased Follett gift card. Purchase and print your child's gift card here! All gift cards must be printed to be used at this year's book fair. When purchasing a gift card, type your child's name in the notes section so it can be easily identified if misplaced and remind your child to take it with them to the fair when purchasing their books.

We still need volunteers! Volunteers receive a 20% Book Fair discount.

This FRIDAY, May 24!

Create your pledge page!

Download a donation form

Fun, friendship, fitness, and fundraising! The Walkathon is a special day when kids give back to Burley School.

All kids will need:

appropriate clothing and footwear (gym / walking shoes - no sandals or flip flops)
a water bottle (labeled with the child's name)

6th-8th graders also need:

A bag lunch (nut free)
A signed permission slip

Help your students secure donations by sharing their online pledge page and reminding them to bring their paper form to family events. The more donations, the more chances they have to win great raffle prizes like a bowling party, White Sox and Fire tickets, Bears and Bulls memorabilia, tennis lessons, and more!

Deadline for donations to get your kids entered in the raffle is Tuesday, May 28th (after Memorial Day!)

Walk-a-thon: May 26

5/17/2017

Grades 6-8 will walk to the lakefront for a day of fitness and fun! Students in 5th grade and younger will participate in walking and fitness activities here at school. Set up your child's online fundraising page, print a pledge form, and learn more at friendsofburley.org/walkathon.

The Walkathon and Fitness Challenge is one of FOB's largest events, and its success is critical to achieving our year-end goals. It's also Burley students' chance to give back to our wonderful school. If every Burley student raises $100, we'll be well on our way to reaching our goal for this event.
