MEET THE BUCHANAN STAFF
Nancy Gregg - Secretary
Hi! My name is Nancy Gregg and I have recently joined LPS staff as secretary for Buchanan, Hoover and Randolph Elementary. I have been married to my husband Mike for 17 years and we have a son, Isaac in 6th grade at Riley Upper Elementary and a son, Asher in 3rd grade at Hoover Elementary. We also have a 1 year old vizsla puppy named Rubeus, a corn snake named Slither, and a fish named Mario. We are an active family that does karate together and the boys enjoy playing soccer for Livonia Soccer Club. Asher plans to try basketball this year with Livonia Junior Athletic League. We love the outdoors, being involved in our church, and we all love all things Harry Potter!
My goal for the year is to be a welcoming and positive influence for the families in our community.
I have enjoyed becoming a part of the Buchanan community. Everyone has been very welcoming, supportive and FUN!
PTA POINTS
- The PTA is hosting a family fun night at Riverside Arena on October 4 from 6-8 p.m. at 36635 Plymouth Rd, Livonia. Admission is $6.50 per person.
- We are having a Bake Sale October 17 & 18 during conferences. If you would like to donate items for the bake sale please sign up on the link provided below.
- Don’t forget to send in your box tops by October 20th! The class that collects the most will earn a pizza party! Please label all baggies with the teachers name.
Monster Mash Dash. Friday, October 26 6:00-8:00 p.m.
- This year we are doing something new. We are combining our Fun Run and Boo Bash. This year’s theme is MONSTER MASH DASH. The Monster Mash Dash incorporates health and fitness with a Halloween-infused atmosphere. We will also have a DJ and dancing, games, treats and lots of Halloween fun. Dress like a monster or wear a costume while running to raise money for our school. This year the PTA hopes to raise enough money to contribute to field trips for every grade, assemblies for the school, student news magazines, the Mileage Club, and various other school supplies, classroom enrichment materials, and family-fun events. Information packets will be sent home sometime the first week of October.
Did you know that every child will be receiving a Reading Proficiency Report before parent teacher conferences? The reports will share your child's iReady score as well as their Fountas & Pinnell score to give a good indication of where their strengths and challenges are in the area of reading. Kindergarten families will receive an early literacy benchmark score. This will help with conversations during our parent teacher conferences. We are committed to helping all students succeed. Great things are happening at Buchanan!
