A parent recently shared a story with one of our staff members that brought joy to my heart. She said, “What do you mean you’re not sure what school you’re bringing your daughter to? Burkevale is the best and only school to send your kids. There really is no other choice if you want the most caring environment and staff, and the best education around.” For years, I have felt this way about our staff and students, and it’s fantastic to hear it echoed by our parent community. Thank you!

“The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month attained a special significance in the post-war years. The moment when hostilities ceased on the Western Front became universally associated with the remembrance of those who had died in the war. This first modern world conflict had brought about the mobilization of over 70 million people and left between nine million and 13 million dead, perhaps as many as one-third of them with no known grave. The allied nations chose this day and time for the commemoration of their dead soldiers.” Burkevale will honour our veterans on Remembrance Day at the school with thoughtful activities and a moment of silence following our recess. https://nationaltoday.com/remembrance-day/
