Seasons Greetings!
WOW! I can’t believe how fast November flew by and we are already a week into December!
I would like to take a moment to thank all of our students and their families for the AMAZING amount of food collected during our annual food drive to benefit the Bay View Community Center. Burdick school donated over 5,600 food items making it the BVCC’s most successful food drive of the year. Thank you for helping our students give back to the community in such an impactful way.

MPS Family Interest Survey
Thank you to those families who filled out MPS’ Family Interest Survey. The MPS administration has decided to leave the survey open to allow families who did not have an opportunity to take it to do so. The survey officially closed on December 4, 2023, but will stay open indefinitely to accommodate feedback from more families, students, and
community members. Families were sent a link to the survey to their email address or you can register to have a new survey sent to you using the following link: https://mpsresearch.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cFLniRdYbnDdf0O
Please consider filling out the survey as it helps our school to make informed decisions.
