Our Core Essential Value of the Month is HOPE! "Believing that something good can come out of something bad." Spring is always a great time to look forward to what's next. In Buhler we believe we are Directors of Hope as staff members and we HOPE our students see good things for their future.
April is here and so is our Core Essential Value of the Month: Hope!
Hope can be defined as "believing something good can come from something bad."
This is a fitting value for us in Buhler Schools, as we strive to be Directors of Hope.
As we close out the year, may we stay hopeful as Buhler Crusaders and bring plenty of GOOD to each day!
