CURRICULUM NIGHT HIGHLIGHTS: Building Our Buice Community

September 17, 2026 | September 18, 2026 (virtual recap)

Curriculum Night reminded us just how strong our Buice community truly is. More than 70 families joined us in person, filling the building with warmth and genuine partnership, and several more connected with us the next day through our virtual recap. Our connections continue to grow, with seven parents volunteering their emails to stay involved in future events and activities. We are also grateful for our community partners, 12Stone Church, Bethlehem Church, and Sugar Hill Church, whose generosity provided Chick‑fil‑A sandwiches for our Admin Meet‑and‑Greet, pizza for teachers on Curriculum Night, and additional funds to support upcoming family engagement efforts. Together, we’re building a supportive, connected community for our students and families!
