Week One

Hi folks, Jon Wennstrom here! We had a very successful first week at Buchanan. Like students from across the state and nation, our kids met their teachers, navigated their way through the lunch and recess process, and learned arrival and dismissal procedures. However, there was one thing unique to our first week at Buchanan....our staff! Our custodial staff worked all holiday weekend to make sure the building was ready for students. Our teachers came early and stayed late to make sure that rooms were ready, plans were complete and that students felt safe and welcome in their "new and improved" school. We even had our front entryway decorated by our amazing PTA board to make sure that every child felt welcomed and excited as they walked into school our first week. The first week of school can be hectic, but at Buchanan we want to make sure that every child and every family member feels "at home". I'm proud of our amazing team and the way they go above and beyond to make the first week and EVERY week of school fun for our students!

Did you know that our PTA Board (and family) did all the beautiful art chalk on our entryway for students? They spent the first morning decorating the area and creating positive messages. What a fun idea and way to celebrate the first week of school. Great things are happening at Buchanan!
