John G. Tower Elementary

The Tower Student Council is thrilled to announce two exciting events to spread holiday cheer and give back to the community!

The John Tower S2S Club met this afternoon discussing upcoming events. The 2nd part of the meeting was devoted to writing and leaving "thankful" notes on teachers' and staff doors for a surprise for them tomorrow morning! 'Tis the season to be thankful!

The S2S Club provided service to MSU yesterday by giving out rally towels at the MSU football game!

Here are a few pics from Friday's Movement with Moms! Loving all the smiles and happy times!

A Public Hearing of the Student Health Advisory Council (SHAC) of Burkburnett Independent School District will be held December 4, 2024, beginning at 3:45 pm at the Overton Ray Elementary library.

We are so grateful for the support for our military student events, through t-shirt sales, a grant from the Sheppard Spouses' Club, our SAFB 362 supporter, TSgt Burrola, and amazing parents. Today we were able to take our Braveheart Club to Maniac's Mansion to create some smiles and memories. Being a military kid can be tough, but together they are strong. 

Over the past couple of weeks, more students had the opportunity to take on the role of School Officer for the Day—a special honor earned by saving up Dojo points! A big thank you to Officer Deason for making this experience so much fun for the kids!

Dear Tower Parents and Guardians, Here is some additional information regarding Picture Retake Day on 11/19/2024. Retakes – Who needs one? Any student that purchased a package and is not happy can take a retake! They need to return the package they purchased and we will replace it with the new photo. Any student that was absent we need to photograph! If someone did not purchase on the first picture day but wants a retake, they must bring back the proof sheet that was sent home to the photographer or payment for a package! Anyone wanting a retake, the retake photo will replace the original photo!

Our second grade STEM Club members were introduced to the Vex 123 robots today. They have just started to learn the beginning steps to code this device to perform tasks. ❤️

Smiles and happiness in today's "Movement with Moms in PE!" Next edition will be on Friday!

Dear Tower Parents and Guardians, The 2025 Yearbook order is now open! You can place your order at: https://yearbookforever.com/

Our S2S club loved having some of BHS S2S students come to our meeting yesterday. They told us about what S2S means to them and helped us prepare for our 'spare change' fundraiser for the MSU Fantasy of Lights this week. 

Dear Tower Parents and Guardians, Picture Retake Day will be on Tuesday, November 19, 2024. If you would like your child to participate in retakes, please notify their teacher. We will then send home the picture retake form. Students who are new to Tower Elementary School or who were absent on Fall Picture Day (October 17, 2024) will also be sent for retakes. If you have any questions regarding Picture Retake Day, please contact Mrs. Canham at the office: 940-855-3221. Thank you!

Students in Tower Elementary's third grade STEM Club completed an experiment to determine which recipe works best as a substitute for snow. Students had to use their prior knowledge to determine which of the two recipes work best to mimic the texture and consistency of snow. Based on student research, they determined that shaving cream works better than using conditioner when mixed with baking soda to produce fake snow. ❤️

Dr. Owen will be live on our Burkburnett ISD Facebook page on Monday, December 9th at 6 PM. If you have any questions for Dr. Owen, please ask them here 👇 in the comment section below in advance, and he will address them live. Please keep all questions focused on policies, processes, or facilities at the district or campus level. Dr. Owen will not be answering any questions about specific personnel or student situations. Dr. Owen will give a district update and then answer your submitted questions. Dr. Owen will end the town hall with a live Q & A that will allow you to ask questions in real-time. We hope you will take the time to join in on these town halls and we hope you find the information and format beneficial.

7th ANNUAL CHRISTMAS PARADE OF HOMES

Children just seem to have an innate ability to share, and their smiles indicate much happiness in doing so! Here's a friendly reminder to fill the bags that were sent home!

Dear Tower Parents and Guardians, This is a wonderful opportunity to support an annual community event.

Thank you to the Veterans of our armed forces for all that you have done for our great nation!
