Update from Mrs. Haskins
We’re excited to continue to celebrate Kindness Month at New Buffalo Elementary! Our K-5 students have received a Kindness Challenge worksheet, and we encourage them to participate. Students who turn in their completed Kindness Challenge sheets to their teachers by 2/28 will receive a reward from Mrs. Haskins. Remember—It's Cool to be Kind!

The PTO needs your help!
The PTO at New Buffalo Elementary does so many wonderful things to support our staff and students! Participation has decreased over the past few years and we are asking for your help. We would love to have you attend our next meeting to give input. We don't always need help with big or time consuming things. Please consider joining us for one of our monthly meetings.
