The Friends of Buker would like to thank the Buker community for their generous support of the Scholastic Book Fair.  Through the revenue from the book sales we were able to supply the teachers, specials and library with over 190 books. 

 Thanks also goes to the Kids Care Club for organizing our Loose Change program.  We received 60+ bags of change from our students totaling $192. This allowed us to purchase 32 books for Children's Hospital's Reach Out and Read Program.

 

 

Think Math! has a great website to help parents understand this new program.

ATTENTION PARENTS:

Please be sure to confirm your child’s after school plans prior to sending them to school.

A note to the teacher is required for any changes to the child’s regular transportation routine.

Unconfirmed plans cause a disruption to the classroom, confusion for the child and an unnecessary interruption for the office. 

Thank you for making every effort to have plans in place with notes before your child goes to school.
