#BuchananBears

Did you know that two of our Buchanan team members were recognized at the annual PTSA Founders Day banquet? Michelle Adams (2nd grade classroom teacher) and Jennifer Emm (PTA Treasurer) were both recognized for their continuous dedication and service to our school. We are lucky to have such a wonderful team at our building. Great things are happening at Buchanan!
