Bison Blurb

Our students headed outside this week to observe the maple trees that we have tapped right here on our school property. We aren't just learning about the science of sap; we’re learning about the power of giving back.

Every drop collected will be boiled down into fresh maple syrup and donated to the New Buffalo Township Fire Department for their annual pancake breakfast! We are so proud of our students for working hard to support the first responders who do so much for us.

Stay tuned for "sweet" updates on our progress!

Join us for Donuts with Dudes on Friday, February 27 beginning at 7:30 am. Remember that you must have a background check to attend. We hope to see you there!

The book fair is coming to New Buffalo Elementary the week of February 23. We are looking for volunteers to help with the book fair. Please click on this link to sign up to help!
