W.F. Burns Middle School

In October, we launched a reading incentive to encourage students to visit the library, check out books, and return those books on time. We are thrilled to share that this campaign was a huge success! We witnessed many students taking time out of their day to explore new books and show responsibility by returning them by the due date. As part of the incentive, every student who returned a book had their name entered into a drawing for a tote filled with candy. Congratulations to Jacob Weldon, our lucky winner for October! We are excited to continue this reading incentive through November and December. Our goal is to boost our students' enthusiasm for reading and help them develop strong library habits.

WFB will host a Veteran's Day program Friday, November 8th at 2 pm. We welcome any Veterans to join us for this occasion.

Our students had the privilege of hearing Mr. Matt Kelley from Equip Ministries speak today!
