Battle of the Books!!

Hi folks, Jon Wennstrom here! On Friday, we had our annual Battle of the Books for the third and fourth grade students. Once again, it was a HUGE success. I love seeing students and parents engaged in fun reading activities. Thank you Ms. Ford for organizing the event and thank you to the staff and parent volunteers who helped make it happen! Our goal is to create life-long readers with all of our Buchanan students!

Thank you to all of the students and families for the participation in our Jump Rope for Heart event.  This year we were able to raise $3,640.00 to help the American Heart Association fight heart disease and stroke! An extra thank you to Kira Crandall and Rob Pascoe for volunteering to help with this event, your extra work is so very much appreciated.  Thank you to our classroom teachers for assisting in the collection of envelopes each day! Reminder:  Anyone that has earned prizes:  They have been ordered and take approximately 4-6 weeks to ship to the school.  At that time, we will organize and distribute them as quickly as possible. Thank you again for helping to make this important fundraiser so successful!!!
Sincerely,
Ms. Berg-Grant, Physical Education
