Welcoming our newest Families!

Hi folks, Jon Wennstrom here! This week, we welcomed our newest families to Buchanan Elementary. The class of 2032!! These dates make me feel a little older each year:)  As a principal, one of my greatest joys is welcoming new families and showing off our amazing school. We give a tour, a presentation and answer questions. However, as much as I like showing off our building, it's the PEOPLE that make it so special. Our Buchanan team truly cares about each child and works to create an atmosphere that is supportive, challenging, and fun for every child. Thanks to all our families for being a part of our amazing team!

Did you know we kicked off our Scholastic Book Fair with a Pancake Breakfast! Families spent the morning eating a hearty breakfast and shopping for books. The kids especially liked the opportunity to "catch their breakfast" as the pancakes were flipped high in the air. Normally, I don't encourage students to play with their food, but for this event it's all part of the fun! Great things are happening at Buchanan!
