This year we started a new recognition award for staff who have gone above and beyond for staff, students, and/or community. You all came through (like always) with outpouring of support and appreciation for our staff. It is this partnership that makes Buhler so exceptional. We handed out a third of the nominations for November. In December and January, we will do it again!! In a random drawing from this group of recipients, Lori Zachary (BHS PE teacher) and Leanna Porter (PCE PreK para) won a $25 gift card to Dillons. Thank you to The Buhler Education Foundation for supporting this program!!

This year we will again celebrate the holidays with 15 days of themed attire. All students and staff are welcome to participate! Feel free to join us at home or your place of work for Operation Joy! See the attached image and get your best holiday socks ready for Thursday. #Bexceptional

Today is School Transportation Appreciation Day and this whole week is School Bus Safety Week! We may be biased but we have the BEST transportation staff around. 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!

Today we had the honor of officially dedicating “Jory Konrade Field” at Prairie Hills Middle School. Mr. Konrade was an amazing educator, coach, and person.

Jory’s immediate family and extended family and friends were able to attend the dedication as pictured below.
