Dear Buchanan Families,
It is hard to believe that we are headed into the last week of school. I am so incredibly proud of our school community this year. Your children have grown confidence, skills, and friendships this year. It has been a daily joy to watch them thrive!
Our many field trips and events this year would not have been possible without the dedication and kindness of our many volunteers! Today we were thrilled to recognize them at our volunteer tea.
We have such a vibrant and supportive school community.
I hope you enjoy the weekend, RAIN or shine!
Robin
Principal, Buchanan School
