Buffalo Express

Happy Friday Buffalo Families,

Today was exciting as our students in grades 4-6 gathered to observe our annual spelling bee. All of our spellers did a fantastic job and they spelled 252 words in 15 rounds. Our grand champion is Gabby Alcala, 4th grader and our runner up is Avery Estenson, 5th grader. A few notes and reminders:

• Thank You Officer Ryan- This past week we celebrated National Law Enforcement Day on January 9, 2024 and for us that means appreciating Officer Ryan Ladner. Officer Ryan can often mind taking students for a break, hanging out with students in the Cafeteria and Gym, and supporting traffic in the morning and afternoon at Berryton. Words can't express how valuable Officer Ryan is to all of our school community and we think he is the BESt!

• Calling All Future Kindergartners- It is already that time of year where we start working on enrollment for the next academic year. If you have a student that will turn 5 prior to August 31, 2024 please complete this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScJZUr1RYotR60CAXj4D7bx8GbFqAphFESIJCip58aAFbATNA/viewform

• Yearbooks for Sale- Yearbooks can be purchased at the following link: https://www.balfour.com/. The deadline to purchase is 1/31/2024.

With Buffalo Pride,

Mrs. Bervert

As an elementary principal I enjoy working collaboratively with staff members to support student learning. I am passionate about continuing to learn professionally, and building relationships with staff and students at Berryton Elementary. When I'm not serving at Berryton Elementary I am usually with my husband and two sons. We can be found at sporting events, cheering on Kansas State University, or just enjoying a movie at home.
