Borton's Got Talent Show was absolutely incredible! From our tiniest Pre-K performers all the way up, the stage was filled with dancing, music, singing, comedy, cheering, and even acrobatics – what an amazing display of talent! Every single student showed such courage and confidence getting up on stage, and it was truly inspiring to watch.

A huge thank you to the PTA for making this event happen. Thank you also to everyone who came out to support our kids.
 

Borton students got a chance to learn more about their future opportunities at our Career Fair on March 12.

A heartfelt thank you to Tucson Clean & Beautiful for enriching our kindergarten students’ Tree Project and helping bring Project-Based Learning to life! Through this hands-on experience, our young learners explored how people can care for and contribute to the living systems around them.

Students helped plant palo brea trees that will grow alongside them as they move from kindergarten through 6th grade – creating a lasting connection between their learning and our school environment. Along the way, they practiced real-world skills: digging with shovels, gently “tickling” the roots, and even “shaking hands” with their new trees as they welcomed them to campus. 

What an incredible experience for our Borton 4th graders at Camp Cooper! Students dove into the Earth Keepers program – exploring nature, learning how to care for our planet, and growing as leaders and collaborators. Hands-on learning, outdoor adventure, and lots of smiles made this trip one to remember!

Thank you to our Borton families, staff, and students for bringing the energy and school spirit to our Jump-a-Thon! A massive shout-out to our incredible PTA for putting on yet another fantastic event. We are so thankful for all you do to support our kids and our school!

Shoutout to Borton’s Cave Class for their amazing project driven by the question: “How does the cave environment shape the animals that live there?”
What made this project extra special was the way student voice and choice led the learning. Students created their own “need to know” questions based on their curiosity, built knowledge through research and exploration, and then shared their learning in creative ways they chose. From infographics and games to news scripts, each product showed their unique thinking and understanding.

Our 1st graders are starting the year rolling with science! Students are exploring motion through hands-on investigations, testing, building, and discovering how things move. It’s science in action as they ask questions, make predictions, and learn by doing. We love seeing their curiosity and excitement take off!

Borton Math & Science Night was a huge success! Thank you to all of our amazing families who came out to explore rich science, math, and systems thinking together. It was an incredible evening filled with hands-on STEM challenges, math and science escape rooms, robotics, games with Borton teachers, and inspiring learning with our community partners. Families even went home with materials to keep the learning going!
 

Borton’s Fall Festival was bursting with fun, creativity, and community spirit. Families explored the spooky STEM escape room, crafted slime, played games, picked books at the pumpkin patch, and ventured on a nocturnal scavenger hunt through our desert habitat! 

Our 3rd graders have been exploring the diverse customs, traditions, and beliefs of Hispanic cultures! 💫

Throughout their project, students investigated their own wonderings about the geography, history, and cultural traditions of a self-selected Hispanic country, developing a deep appreciation for the richness and diversity within Hispanic communities.

As true Cultural Ambassadors, they shared their findings with classmates, Kindergarten students, and teachers, received feedback, and refined their presentations before proudly presenting to their families on Friday. 💬🎉

We are so proud of their curiosity, creativity, collaboration, and dedication to celebrating culture and learning!

Our K–5 runners were AMAZING at the cross country meet yesterday! They ran a whole mile around Reid Park. Congrats on our 1st graders who placed 4th and 9th and earned ribbons! Also our 5th graders placed 6th and 9th — awesome job!

Borton Elementary Magnet School celebrated Mexican Independence Day and kicked off Hispanic Heritage Month with a community Lotería Night! Students, staff, and families gathered in the cafeteria for a large game of lotería, and for the chance to win raffle prizes.
