This past weekend, the Burnham PTO brought the holiday spirit to life with our Breakfast with Santa event! The gymnasium was transformed into a festive winter wonderland, filled with Christmas cheer, twinkling decorations, and smiling faces. Families gathered to enjoy delicious donuts provided by the PTO, and the kids had a truly special treat—a chance to meet Santa himself! Santa spread joy and holiday magic, taking pictures with families and listening to the little ones’ Christmas wishes. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this wonderful event, and a huge shoutout to our amazing PTO for making this magical morning possible. This holiday season is off to a beautiful start thanks to your generosity and creativity! Happy Holidays from all of us at Burnham! 🎄🎁

Dear Families,
As winter approaches and the temperatures continue to drop, we want to remind everyone to ensure that children are dressed appropriately for the colder weather. We do continue to hold outdoor recess as long as it is not extremely cold or wet, so it’s important for students to come to school prepared with warm coats, hats, gloves, and other winter gear.
We truly appreciate your cooperation in helping us keep the kids comfortable and ready to enjoy their time outdoors. Please note that if your child needs to be excused from outdoor recess, a doctor’s note will be required.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and as always, we appreciate your support!
Warm regards,
Stephen Geraci
Superintendent

On November 15, we are saying thank you to our Burnham District 154.5 School Board members. School board members are volunteers who serve as advocates striving for quality education opportunities for every student. Our board members take on this responsibility not for a paycheck but for their commitment to our community and its children. Our board members spend multiple hours each month on district work, attending meetings, and performing other responsibilities most will never hear or read about.
I want to personally thank all seven Burnham 154.5 School Board members for their service to the district, our students, and the Burnham community. Let’s all give them the recognition they have earned. You can send a group email to all school board members at board@d1545.org or you can message them individually at their Burnham School email addresses.
From the Village of Burnham:
As we approach Thanksgiving, a time of reflection and gratitude for all our blessings, the Village is reaching out to our families in need.
We will be offering Thanksgiving turkeys to those who could use a little extra help this holiday season.
If you could benefit from a Thanksgiving turkey, please stop by the Clerk's Office or give us a call at 708-862-9150 Option 3 to place your name on the list. Please note that we have a limited number of turkeys available, so be sure to reserve yours soon.
Turkeys will be available for pickup on Saturday, November 23, 2024, from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm at the Community Center located at 14020 S. Torrence Avenue.
We hope that this gesture brings some joy and comfort to your Thanksgiving celebration. Wishing all our families a joyful holiday spent with loved ones.
