Midwinter Break

 Hi folks, Jon Wennstrom here! It was another great week at Buchanan. February is a short, but busy month with Black History Month, Valentine's Day, Winter Field Day and President's Day. Having our midwinter break makes it go even more quickly! Whether you are staying at home or getting away, we hope all our Buchanan families have a safe and relaxing break. We look forward to seeing the students when classes resume on Wednesday! 

Remember no school Monday and Tuesday! 

Winter Field Day is scheduled for Thursday, February 18 (Weather Pending). I will send out a confirmation notice the day before. Please make sure students have winter gear and are ready for some fun in the snow! Classroom teachers will send out the specific time for each class.
