Welcome Mr. Cook!

Help us welcome Mr. Adam Cook First Grade Teacher. I am excited to be joining the Burr Oak Community Schools Team as the new first grade teacher. I grew up in Sturgis graduating in 2002, and then I attended Glen Oaks Community College where I obtained my Associate Degree in General Studies. After college I joined the United States Army serving for 8 years in both active duty and reserves. Upon my departure from the Army and living away from the area, I decided to pursue my teaching degree back in Michigan. I obtained my Bachelor's in Elementary Education with a Major in Social Studies from The Robert B. Miller College in Battle Creek. I taught for 6 years before starting with Burr Oak. In my spare time I like to relax with my family and dogs. My wife and I keep busy with our three-year-old son and four-month-old baby girl. I also like to go fishing when time allows, and I volunteer with the Youth for Christ High School Club in Sturgis. I can’t wait for the new school year to start. I look forward to meeting my students and the new adventures that we will travel together!

Due to delays in construction and the safety concerns for students, the Burr Oak Board of Education has chosen to delay the start date of school. We will begin school Tuesday, September 3. A plan is being worked on to keep the calendar as close as possible to the original and will be posted at a later date.
