Buchanan Pride

Hi folks, Jon Wennstrom here! Thanks to the generosity of our PTA, we were able to purchase Buchanan Masks for all of our staff members. The masks look great and it gives us a chance to show off our Buchanan Pride! If we need to wear masks each day, we may as well have fun and look good while we do it:)  I same the same thing to our students. Let's make it a fun activity each day and not just something we have to do. Thanks again PTA for making our team look so good!
