Memories

Hi folks, Jon Wennstrom here! I've heard many stories from students and staff about the destinations they are going to over spring break. Some are exotic and exciting and others are just quiet and peaceful getaways. Growing up, we rarely went on vacation for spring break. However, I have fond memories of going fishing, hiking in the woods by my house, and playing with my neighborhood friends. It's not about the destination, it's about the memories that are made. I hope whether you are far away or staying at home that you take the time to make some memories with your child this spring break. From all of us at Buchanan, we wish you a peaceful break and we look forward to seeing the students when they return on Monday, April 9!

Did you know that there will be a FREE family event at Rotary Park this Saturday? On Saturday, March 31, the Rotary Club of Livonia will host a family Easter Egg Hunt in the park. Families can enjoy breakfast treats, search for plastic Easter eggs, and turn them in for a bag of candy. I will be working the event with my family and fellow Rotarians and I hope to see many of our Buchanan families there. Great things are happening at Buchanan!
