Hopefully, we can help you understand how Burny Road School doesn't focus on disability, but rather our strengths and abilities. I'm proud of our uniform at Burny Road School. In seniors, we wear navy blue shirts, and in early and middle years, students wear their own. Every day at school, we get to have breakfast. This morning, we had pancakes, but we have something different every day. Bailey, what is your favourite thing to have for breakfast? Harley, what is your favourite thing to have for breakfast? Breakfast and pancakes. I like it at Burny Road School because there is lots that we can do. It's something that a lot of kids really enjoy, is playing basketball.

Then I jumped on it. So fast. We have a PBS reward system at Burny Road School and earn PBS dollars to save up and spend on different prizes. There is so much we could show you about the things we love, learn and do at Burny Road School that we have to go now. Thank you for watching. Thank you for watching.
