Dear Buhler Community,
We know that many individuals and families in our school community are feeling the strain of rising costs, reduced benefits, and the upcoming holiday season. During times like these, the strength of our Buhler community truly shines when we come together to care for one another.
Beginning next week, we invite families and community members who are able to do so to donate a “Meal in a Bag” to help provide food support for others in our community. Each meal includes simple ingredients that can be found via the “dinner in a bag” link located on this document: https://5il.co/3rtj9. You will also see additional food resources for those in need. See the picture for one example of these meals.
Donations may be dropped off at any Buhler school, the district office, or sent with your student beginning Tuesday, November 4th. At this time, we will accept meal in a bag donations through Thanksgiving break. Meal kits will be sent home with families who have requested food support via an internal and confidential survey.
Thank you for embodying what it means to be part of the Buhler family, a community that cares deeply for one another.
Cindy Couchman, Superintendent

On Wednesday, we hosted our first-ever Leadership Development Day for our 4th and 5th grade Cru Leaders — students in grades 3–5 who apply to demonstrate leadership in their schools.
The day included leadership and team-building games, training on leading by example and with our voices, a guest speaker, and even a handshake competition. Congratulations to Kinley, our first-ever handshake champion! Students are now ready to take these skills back to their schools and lead with confidence.
A huge thank-you to our Cru Leader Sponsors for designing meaningful activities, our amazing parent volunteers, and guest speaker Shane Iwashige, a certified leadership coach with the Kansas Leadership Center.
It was a fantastic day, and we’re already excited for next year!

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.
