A few mid-week reminders:
Hoops for Heart is tomorrow. If students are not on a team and want to watch the games, it costs $3. There will also be concessions for sale. This event not only raises money for the American Heart Association but also our school's PE department.
If your child is attending Special Olympics Track and Field as an athlete or a hugger, please return permission slips and t-shirt money as soon as possible! We need to get our t-shirts ordered in time!
Finally, National Junior Honor Society dues ($20 one-time fee) are due today along with the New Member Response form. This form lets us know whether or not you plan to attend the induction ceremony or if you are choosing not to accept the membership - if you choose not to accept the membership, please go ahead and turn the form in so that we know who is joining & attending the ceremony!

🐃✨ Something was quietly happening at Buffalo Middle School last week… ✨🐃
While our students were learning and growing, our staff was secretly celebrating a “Underground Spirit Week,” and let’s just say… the Herd showed up in a BIG way.
From creative outfits to hidden theme days, there were smiles, laughter, and a whole lot of Bison pride happening behind the scenes. 🖤
Why keep it a secret? Because even when no one is watching, our staff knows how to build connection, boost morale, and keep the energy strong for our students every single day.
At Buffalo Middle School, it’s more than spirit week… It’s about being Honorable, Enthusiastic, Responsible, and Determined together as one HERD.
👀 Stay tuned… you never know what the Herd might be up to next!
Check out the links below for some videos from the week!

We were happy to welcome back Mountain State Centers for Independent Living to our school this year to speak with our students about becoming ADA advocates.
Ronda Shockley shared an important message about including all students, standing up for others, and how young people can make a real difference in their communities. She also helped students better understand the history and impact of the Americans with Disabilities Act and discussed how the law continues to evolve and shape accessibility and equity today.
We appreciate the opportunity for our students to learn how advocacy, empathy, and awareness can help create a more inclusive world for everyone. ♿💙
