Buffalo Express

This week we had our first vocal music program since December 2019. My heart overflowed watching our 1st and 2nd graders sing, dance and most importantly unite as a community. This would not be possible without the instruction of Mrs. Victoria Stuckenschmidt and the support she received from all of her Berryton colleagues. Thanks also to the families and extended families that joined our concert.

In other news here are a few pieces of news from Berryton:

• Bus Driver Appreciation Day on 10/20- This coming Wednesday is Bus Driver Appreciationn Day. Please take a moment to thank our amazing drivers for getting students to and from school safely every day.

• Student Absences/Leaving Early/Arriving Late- Parents it is extremely important that the office be contacted if a child will be absent, arriving late or leaving early. You can do that by emailing Ms. Tanya at howbertt@usd450.net or calling 785-861-1300. We have voicemail if your need to notify us outside of business hours. If your child is absent and we do not hear from you the day of the absence it may result in an unexcused absence.

• Calling Buffalo Families for Site Council-We would love to have families join our Site Council. Application is below.

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.
