During the week of Feb 10-14, 2020 our students will be participating in Jump Rope for Heart. This will be done by all students in Physical Education class that week. We will do a variety of heart healthy activities including jumping rope. The envelope being sent home is to be used if you choose to donate or collect donations which benefit the American Heart Association. Money is used for research, public health education, and fighting heart disease and stroke. Money can be sent in the form or check or money order, or done online. The permission slip is NOT needed as we are doing this in class! Please put the student's first AND last name on the envelope, as well as the classroom teacher name. Students should NOT put this envelope in the office in my mailbox. It should be turned in to the classroom teacher. Donations are appreciated but also optional. There are prizes listed for those who do chose to participate in the fundraising portion. They are shown on the envelope.The last day to bring in money will be Thursday Feb 27, 2020. All of it will be totally done by the 28th.Thank you for your help and continued support!
Did you know that our PTA recently purchased brand new headphones for each of our Buchanan students? That's over 500 sets of headphones! Our students use them in the computer labs and with chromebooks as they do computerized assessments as well as access educational videos and interactive books. We are so lucky to have such an awesome PTA. Great things are happening at Buchanan!
