Buchanan's Got Talent!

Hi folks, Jon Wennstrom here! On May 7, we had our talent show for grades 2-4. Over 60 students participated in acts ranging from guitar, to tap dance, to puppet shows, to comedy. It was an incredible display of talent and it was made possible because of our teachers, Mrs. Edwards & Ms. Kurtjian. Thank you to our staff, parents, and students who participated and helped out with this event and it was yet another way that students are able to shine at Buchanan!

Students should be in their classrooms 10 minutes before their concert start times.After each performance, the gym will be cleared for the next grade level. Parents may pick up their child outside of their classrooms (by the lockers) after the performance. 

We strongly suggest that first and second grade families attend the first hour (6:00-7:00 PM) and tour the art projects during their either just before or just after the music performance. Third and fourth grade families are encouraged to come just during the second hour (7:00-8:00 PM) and tour the art projects either just before or after the music performance. This will help with congestion in the parking lot and in the building. Thanks for your cooperation!
