Looking to the future

Hi folks, Jon Wennstrom here! We had our incoming Kindergarten parent information night this week and I was so excited to welcome our newest members of the Buchanan community! It's hard to believe that we are preparing to welcome the class of 2034 into our building. The virtual event was recorded and can be found our our Buchanan webpage. One of the exciting things about the world of education is that we are always looking to the future and always ready to welcome new students and families into our school! Great things are happening at Buchanan! 



LAST CHANCE FOR BOOKS! 

There are still a few sets of books available from author Dennis Mathew.  Payment must be in the form of a check made out to Dennis Mathew. You may purchase one book for $12 or the set for $20. This is a first come first serve opportunity and good while books are available.
