Science Rocks!

Hi folks, Jon Wennstrom here! This week, many of our Buchanan students participated in our annual Science Fair. It's a chance for students to explore areas of science that are of interest to them and complete a project of their own choosing. Projects were on display throughout the afternoon on Friday for students and parents to see. I'm proud of all the students who took part in this activity and I would like to thank Mrs. Blazek for organizing the event and providing medals for the students. We hope ALL of our students develop a love of learning at Buchanan that will grow throughout their lives!

Please sign up on the link below.

As an added bonus, the kids will have the chance to ride the ferris wheel and carousel for free because Sundays are Kids Day! After the game, they are also allowed to run the bases. The PTA has reserved 85 tickets in section 214. Each ticket will be $22. Tickets are sold at face value-this is not a fundraiser.  Tickets will be sold on a first come, first serve basis.

Any unsold/unpaid tickets will be returned to Comerica Park. Any questions, please contact Nikki Watson at nalquiza@twmi.rr.com. We will set up a ticket pickup date & time once we receive the tickets.


PTA volunteers have joined forces to shower LPS bus drivers with some appreciation on May 7. 
 You may have noticed the donation boxes that were placed in your schools' offices. A few opportunities do remain for donating -  such as gift cards; packaged nuts, specialty chocolates, drinks and you choose wrapped items. Please consider donating. Click here to donate:  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040c4ba8ae29a57-livonia

#BuchananBears

Did you know that many of our Buchanan students joined hundreds of children from the Metro Detroit area for the Martian Marathon on Saturday? It was a culminating event for those who participated in the Mileage Club and wanted to finish the year with a "Fun Run". Thank you to Mrs. Trantham for organizing our club and coordinating this event! Great things are happening at Buchanan!
