It's almost that time! Students come back to school on Tuesday, August 20th. I have attached a supply list as well as a summarized calendar of events for this school year. We are looking forward to seeing all of our students in a month!
We are happy to announce that we will be having 6th grade orientation on Thursday, August 8th. Students are invited to orientation during the day from 9 am - 1 pm, and then parents are invited for orientation that evening at 6 pm in the gym. This is a great opportunity for students to meet up with their friends, meet the staff, and get comfortable with the layout of the building. Then, that evening we will answer all the common questions and introduce families to our school! We are so excited to meet the Class of 2031!
If you missed the awards ceremonies this week, and you would like to pick up your students' awards and/or report cards, you can stop by the school next week from 9 AM - 2 PM. The school will be closed down for the summer starting on June 17th! We will see everyone back in August. Have an amazing summer!
One of our many competitions on Tuesday during field day was a watermelon eating contest. The students had so much fun participating and watching! Thanks to Ms. Davis and Mr. Ritchie for all their hard work putting this event together. I am truly hoping this becomes an annual tradition! https://wvk12-my.sharepoint.com/:v:/g/personal/lnshaw_k12_wv_us/EVyNTxI0qC9LsfEfCCaeLXoBVllm1EdfIpkilE6Yhd2Qmw?e=cDegW8&nav=eyJyZWZlcnJhbEluZm8iOnsicmVmZXJyYWxBcHAiOiJTdHJlYW1XZWJBcHAiLCJyZWZlcnJhbFZpZXciOiJTaGFyZURpYWxvZy1MaW5rIiwicmVmZXJyYWxBcHBQbGF0Zm9ybSI6IldlYiIsInJlZmVycmFsTW9kZSI6InZpZXcifX0%3D
Today was the last day for the majority of the staff at Buffalo. This year has been full of learning and laughter. Our Buffalo community truly bonded, and we built a strong camaraderie between staff and students. The office staff created an end of year presentation for the staff today, and we wanted to also share it with you all! We hope everyone has a wonderfully relaxing summer. We are already looking forward to seeing everyone in the Fall!
