One of our greatest privileges is celebrating the exceptional instruction happening in our classrooms. Today was extra special as it was the day to inform three teachers that they are our nominees for a state level award!

Mrs. Sarah Jane Seifreid, Plum Creek music teacher, is our nominee for the Kansas Horizon Award, which recognizes second year teachers who distinguished themselves during their very first year in the profession.

Our elementary nominee for Kansas Teacher of the Year is Mrs. Sarah Cherry, preschool teacher at Plum Creek.

Our secondary nominee for Kansas Teacher of the Year is Mrs. Deanna Herrin, math teacher at Buhler High School.

Kansas Teacher of the Year nominees apply to compete with others from our region, and ultimately to be THE Kansas Teacher of the Year. Horizon Award nominees also submit an application and compete against others from our region.

Join us in celebrating these three exceptional educators and wish them luck as they submit their applications!

Buhler High School Senior, Emily Hare, was one of two winners at the Kansas Fairs and Festivals Challenge of Champions!

The field was exceptionally competitive, but Emily soared, demonstrating outstanding knowledge and skill across a rigorous series of challenges including livestock breed identification, crop and weed recognition, meat cuts, feed analysis, and a comprehensive written exam on the agricultural industry.

In recognition of her achievement, Emily received a $3,000 scholarship to support her continued education and leadership development.

Congrats, Emily!

Buhler USD 313 is looking to grow our substitute pool for the 25/26 school year. Substituting is a great job for those looking to make their own schedule and make a difference in the lives of students and teachers. Teachers particularly value quality substitutes so they can get well when they are sick, hone their craft at professional development, attend appointments and events, and ensure they don't need to cover for their colleagues during their prep time.

Thank you for considering this crucial role. Please share this opportunity with friends and family who may be interested! Apply online here: https://www.applitrack.com/buhlerschools/onlineapp/default.aspx?Category=Substitute+Teacher
