Today we are celebrating the best Administrative Assistant around! But she is so much more--student support specialist, nurse, nutritionist, mindfulness expert and yogi, science tutor, germ buster, driver, confidant--we could go on and on. What we are really saying is that our program wouldn't be what it is without her. Thank you, Mrs. Kohls!

What an honor it was to celebrate the year our new to Buhler teachers are about to complete! Last night our mentor teachers, administrators, and mentor directors had the privilege of hearing just a bit about the highly successful years each have had. Wow! There was laughter and happy tears and so many great stories about the work they do with kids each day. Buhler students and families are in great hands moving forward with this exceptional class of teachers! Thank you to our mentor directors, Shannon Vieyra and Deanna Herrin, for their leadership of our mentoring program throughout the year! #Bexceptional #BetterTogether
