Burk Elementary School
Tina Moore: I moved here last year. Soon after my daughter and grandaughter moved here also. Our experience with Burk and it's faculty have been well beyond expectations. I find Burk as a great education institution but also an extended family. Mr. Pace and the faculty have gone way above what any school would ever do for it's student and family. My daughter developed a brain tumor last year. They were there for us. Made sure my Grandaughter had help through the councilor and help catching up without pressure. A shoulder to cry on when needed. I honestly believe I could not have gotten through last year with out Burk. Just before I opened this site we were disscussing it is too hot here and where we might move. First thing said was we are not going anywhere until my Grandaughter finishes Burk. So you are stuck with us for another 4 yrs. :)
Thanks to all the staff at Burk for being who you are and being excellent teachers.
