BOO!!

Hi folks, Jon Wennstrom here! PTA put on another fantastic Boo Bash this year and created a fun event for our Buchanan students and families. I hope you were able to attend the event and have some Halloween fun with our school community! A big THANK YOU to all the staff and volunteers who made this possible and gave us all a frightfully good time!

#BuchananBears

Did you know that every month, an educator from Michigan or across the country gives a shout out to our Buchanan Students of the Month? Wearing a Buchanan Bears shirt, they make a short video to recognize the awesome things are students are doing. Here is our latest video from principal Mike Domagalski. Great things are happening at Buchanan!
