Milestones

Hi folks, Jon Wennstrom here! Earlier in the year, our first grade team had a "50's" celebration and the second grade had an "80's" celebration. This week our kindergarten team celebrated the 100th day of school with fun costumes and learning activities. It's fun for both our students and staff to celebrate these milestones in the school year. It's exciting and a little scary to realize that we are already more than halfway through the school year! We always try to keep learning fun at Buchanan and celebrating our milestones is just one of the ways we do that!

#BuchananBears

Did you know that each month we have educators from across the country send in video clips to support our Students of the Month? They wear Buchanan spirit wear and record a short message telling our students to keep up the great work. Some are authors, some are speakers, and all are tops in their field. It's just another way that we remind our students that someone is always watching. Great things are happening at Buchanan!
