Mrs. Hurula - First Grade Teacher
Hello Buchanan families! My name is Becky Hurula, and I have the awesome privilege of teaching first grade here at Buchanan. I can hardly believe that this is my 12th year teaching first grade at this wonderful school. Before that I was at Roosevelt for 10 years, where I taught first, fourth and fifth grades. I love being part of this wonderful school community and I look forward to teaching and learning with my students every day.
I live in Northville with my husband and two beautiful daughters Annika and Katelyn. We love to spend time together, and especially love travelling and taking vacations as a family. In my spare time I enjoy music, reading, cooking, and shopping. I also like to be crafty and do scrapbooking projects when I have the time.
Some goals l I have for this school year are that all students would enjoy coming to school and that they would be excited about learning new things. I believe every student is capable of learning, improving, and being successful with the right amount of guidance.
Five words I would use to describe Buchanan are welcoming, caring, fun, helpful and awesome!

You can present it to your server if you are eating or to the front desk member if you are just playing games.
- Our VIP dance will be Friday February 2 at Riley Upper Elementary, 6:30-8:30pm. Riley has more space and we can accommodate our families better by hosting the event there. Please look for a flyer coming home next week with more information. Pre-sale tickets only, tickets will not be sold at the door.
- Keep sending in Box Tops labeled with student and teacher name. The class that brings in the most will win a pizza party from the PTA!! Every top is worth $.10 and they add up quickly!
- PTA Executive board nominations for the 2018-19 school year will be coming out in early February- all positions are open. We are in need of a treasurer, if anyone is interested, please contact Nikki Watson at nalquiza@twmi.rr.com for more information. We would like someone to start "shadowing" our current treasurer as soon as possible.
Did you know that our second grade students celebrated our 80th day of school with an 80's theme? Having gone to high school in the 80's I thought that was pretty RAD!! I'm looking forward to seeing what fun events happen in the school when we celebrate our 100th day of school. I've even got some fun things planned for the office:) We are always looking for ways to make learning fun for our students. Great things are happening at Buchanan!
