Who we are
About Friends of Burr
Friends of Burr is a parent-led organization supporting the students, teachers and families of Burr Elementary School in Chicago's Bucktown and Wicker Park neighborhoods.
We raise funds and rally volunteers for enrichment programs, school improvements, community events and the small everyday things that make Burr feel like home.
It takes a village.
And this one shows up.

A Burr principle
改善
Kaizen
Better, little by little.
At Burr, we believe meaningful change doesn’t always happen all at once. Kaizen is the idea of continuous improvement — small steps, thoughtful changes and a commitment to always making our school better for the students who come next.
