They get us to where we need to go safely and are the first and last faces our students see each day. Some even bring treats each week for their riders! Join us in thanking these very important people today!

While a tad late in acknowledging this, we want to share that we had over 130 staff members participate in Step-tember! Teams of staff competed in a daily step challenge over the course of September. As a staff, we logged nearly 29 million steps, which is the distance from Buhler to New Delhi and back! Our top stepper was Kara Whitaker, Instrumental Music Teacher for UV, PHMS, and BHS! Kara walked 554,519 steps over the course of September! For her efforts, she earned a new pair of running shoes. Fitting prize, huh? Our top stepping team was the Band Boys which included Kara, Joel Montes, Nathan Biggs and Alex Meek! Congrats to all of them!! We are proud of all our staff for engaging in this fun wellness activity. We are committed to taking care of ourselves so that we can be the best for our students! We will have more challenges throughout the year in an effort to Be Well to #Bexceptional!
