Let's pack the stands and show our Buffalo spirit!

Our JH/HS Buffs are getting BUFF! Coach Polansky is available on Mondays and Wednesdays to guide our Buffalo guys and gals to proper weightlifting. This includes 6th grade. Today was the first day with 6th grade and we had a great turnout. We are proud of you for getting up early to tackle the day!

Starting on Wednesday, September 3rd ALL students in grades 6-12 have the opportunity to utilize "Buffs After The Bell," an after school program to provide a quiet time to work on homework, get one-on-one academic support, or to catch up on work. High School students that choose to use this time will report to the HS Library and Junior High students can report to Mrs. Poole's room (she may establish more times as well). We will offer this on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:45-4:45. If no students report by 4:00 we will close the library for the day. Again, this is optional for students but we hope to see anyone that would like the extra time to stop by. Snacks will be provided!

Join us! Notes are coming home soon!

Weight Room Now Open in the Mornings! Coach Polansky is now opening the weight room every Monday and Wednesday at 6:15 AM for JR/SR High students. If you're interested in getting stronger and starting your day right, meet Coach at the weight room door at 6:15 sharp! Let’s get after it!
