IT IS TIME FOR A STANDING OVATION!! Congratulations to the staff pictured below for "going above and beyond for students, staff, and/or community members." In a random drawing from this group of recipients, Josh Freking(math teacher at BHS) and Allison Weber(1st grade teacher at BGS), won a $25 gift card to Dillons. Thank you to The Buhler Education Foundation for supporting this program! Also, if you need a reminder of how much this means to our staff, when one person received their certificate, they said, "I don't know why I am crying." It is because words matter. In a world so quick to judge, please remember that words matter and BE KIND to one another. #Bexceptional

Each month all USD 313 students and staff focus on a core essential skill. April's skill is humility. We practice being humility in many ways through the hard work of learning and growing together, both in the classroom and through extracurricular activities. Take some time to talk about humility with your students this month! #BetterTogether #Bexceptional

Congratulations to our BHS Cru Winds team for their efforts at the Kanas KidWind State Finals! Andrew Morgan and Issak Neighbor, led by Mr. Gazaway and Mr. Morgan, placed SECOND! In this competition, team members work together to design, build and test a wind turbine using the materials of their choice. At each level of competition (regional, state and national), turbines are put to the test in a 48" × 48" wind tunnel at a wind speed of approximately 3.5-5 m/s (meters per second). Scoring is based on turbine performance and efficiency, a knowledge quiz, an instant challenge, and a presentation to judges where the team explains its design process. Their success at the State Finals qualifies them for the national competition!!! Learn more via this Hutch Post article: https://hutchpost.com/posts/21cd8d43-e83b-4528-9207-22568ad2d421. Again, congrats to these exceptional students and coaches!
