Buhler USD 313

In January, all Reno County schools are joining together for a day of professional learning that we are calling "All Hands on Deck." We held a logo design contest for Reno County students and received many entries. Our very own Ryder Scheibler, 5th grader at Buhler Grade School, had his design chosen out of all of the submissions. In the images below you will see Ryder's original design along with the digital design that includes all of the participating schools. Congratulations Ryder!

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
