Burnet Elementary

Outreach Ministries: Burnet Elementary School, Partners in Education


David G. Burnet Elementary School 3200 Kincaid Drive Dallas, TX 75220 972-794-3000 Principal: Judy Meyer	Burnet is one of the largest elementary schools in the state, with almost 1500 students in grades PD-6. The students are predominately Hispanic, most from low-income neighborhoods. Now in the 8th year of a strong education partnership with Burnet, Lovers Lane UMC provides a dedicated team of volunteers who work with students, typically one hour a week on campus during the school day--reading, helping with math and other academic skills, mentoring, caring and building confidence and character.
Lovers Lane small groups and individual volunteers have also provided educational materials, campus improvement projects and donations of clothes and toys for needy families.
There are many opportunities to connect with students and make a lasting positive impact on their education and development. The school is close to the church--and the students are the sweetest people you could ever know. If you like being around children, you will love giving part of your heart to them.



What can you do?
	Read with a student, or help a student with math or language assignments (orientation is provided). volunteers typically support one teacher by working with selected students (of a grade level of their choice) weekly through the school year. Bonds are often formed, which carry over to later years. You don't have to be a teacher--you just need to care about children and their futures. It is a rewarding way to make a difference.
	Support a teacher by providing needed classroom supplies.
	Help with occasional campus improvement projects
	Make donations of clothing for needy families through the school's community liaison program.
	We need you! Contact the Outreach office at 214-691-4721 for more information.
