Lifting Others

Hi folks, Jon Wennstrom here! This month, our Buchanan students are focusing on the theme of Confidence. In addition to talking about how confident people believe in themselves and take risks, we also discussed that confident people lift others up. To demonstrate this, we once again had our "Positive Post It" day, where students wrote positive messages to students and adults in the school. It was  a great way to start the week and hopefully will become a habit for our students to send positive messages to others. I want our students to discover that when we make others feel good about themselves, it makes us feel better too! Ask your child what positive messages they left this week and encourage them to keep it up!

#BUCHANANBEARS


Did you know that we recently had our 80th day of school? To celebrate the day, our second grade team had an 80's appreciation party! Hearing the music and seeing the clothing, I felt like I was back in high school again! I think the kids had fun, and I know I did!! Great things are happening at Buchanan!
