More than 15,000 students in grades TK – 12 headed back to school for the beginning of the Burbank United School District 2017-18 academic year on Monday, August 14. Superintendent Matt Hill visited several schools throughout the district to welcome students, teachers and staff.
BUSD is comprised of 11 elementary schools (Walt Disney, Thomas Edison, Ralph Emerson, Bret Harte,Thomas Jefferson, William McKinley, Joaquin Miller, Providencia, Theodore Roosevelt, R.L. Stevenson and George Washington), three middle schools (Luther Burbank, John Muir and David Starr Jordan) and three high schools (Burbank, John Burroughs and Monterey.)
On Hollywood Way in Burbank, just down the street from Portos, behind an inviting storefront filled with color, fragrance, and the soft hum of creative hustle, sits The Enchanted Florist. Its owner, Kimberly Williams, moves through the space with the ease of someone who knows every bucket, bloom, shelf, and stem by heart.
