Buffalo Point Elementary

Tomorrow at the parade, we will have a table set up with all of our lost and found items. After the parade, they will be moved to the steps at the front of the school. We invite parents and students to check those locations and collect their items.

Staying hydrated and horn-ready—Chip’s fueling up at the drinking fountain! #MascotMonday #BuffaloPoint

Buffalo Point students had a blast at our PTA Movie of the Month! We watched K-Pop Demon Hunters—and it quickly turned into a full-on sing-along Laughter, music, and community fun made it a night to remember. #BuffaloPoint #FunFriday

Thank-You Thursday Today we want to shine the spotlight on Miss Mindy, our amazing librarian! Not only does she keep our library a wonderful place to learn and explore, but she’s always ready to jump in wherever help is needed. She listens, supports, and encourages both students and staff — truly the heart and soul of our school. We are so lucky to have her! #ThankYouThursday #BuffaloPoint #StampedeStrong

Words from the Herd Wednesday Sometimes our Buffalos say it best! One of our 2nd graders, feeling the weight of school expectations, looked at his teacher and declared: "As soon as I get a job, I’m out of here!” We love the honesty, the humor, and the reminder that even our youngest learners are already dreaming about the future. #WordsFromTheHerd #BuffaloPoint

Don't forget that we are on early out schedule today. School is out at 1:30.

Fun Friday vibes! Fall Break is the perfect time to recharge and enjoy new adventures. Mrs. Farrell is soaking up the beauty at Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh — what fun things are you doing this break? #FunFriday #FallBreak #BuffaloPoint #StampedeStrong

Words from the Herd Wednesday
One of our Buffalo Point students shared the best reminder this week: “I turned my grumpy face off!”

A little positivity can go a long way—what a great way to brighten the day!

Fun Friday Spotlight! Our Hispanic Heritage Festival was filled with music, dance, and joy! From performances to hands-on activities, our students celebrated culture and community in style. #FunFriday #StampedeStrong #HispanicHeritageMonth

Thank you Thursday Last Friday was Custodian Appreciation Day, and we want to give a huge shout-out to our amazing custodians! They keep our school looking great, take care of countless behind-the-scenes needs, and even make Fridays extra fun in the cafeteria. We are so grateful for all they do to keep Buffalo Point running strong! #ThankYouThursday #StampedeStrong

Words from the Herd Wednesday
Our first graders were getting ready to learn about the skeletal system, and their teacher asked where they’d seen skeletons before. We heard some solid answers—“at the doctor,” “in a museum,” even “in Minecraft.”

Then came the curveballs: “in the wild,” “a real live skeleton,” and “at the beach.”

Sounds like our Buffalo kiddos take some very interesting vacations!

Teaching Tuesday One of the best parts of being at Buffalo Point is that our students teach us, too. Their examples of kindness, teamwork, and service remind us what real learning looks like. This week we’re celebrating how choosing to help others, even when you don’t have to, is one of the most powerful lessons we can all carry with us. Thank you, students, for showing us how to build together every day! #TeachingTuesday #BuildingTogether

October MVPs! We’re so proud to celebrate our Students of the Month — our October MVPs! These amazing buffaloes have shown kindness, hard work, and leadership in and out of the classroom. Way to go, Stampede! Keep building together and showing what it means to be an MVP at Buffalo Point.

Several of our students worked extra hard during the fundraiser and earned the prize of getting to put a pie in the face of a teacher. Poor Ms Olsen got a double whammy.

Thank You Thursday
As we meet for parent-teacher conferences this week, we want to pause and thank the incredible grownups who partner with us every day—parents, grandparents, and family members who support our students at Buffalo Point.

Your encouragement at home and your involvement at school make all the difference. Together, we are truly Building Together for our kids’ success!

This week’s Words from the Herd Wednesday isn’t about a single phrase that was spoken — it’s about how the love of reading spread. A group of our 6th graders spontaneously gathered in the library and started a read-aloud, and soon others leaned in to listen. The best words are the ones that bring us together. #WordsFromTheHerd #BuildingTogether #StampedeStrong

Teaching Tuesday

At Buffalo Point, we know that the best teachers never stop learning. Recently, some of our amazing Stampede teachers (and even one of our former teammates!) came together for professional development—growing their skills, sharing ideas, and strengthening their craft.

Because when teachers are learners, students win. #TeachingTuesday #BuildingTogether #LifelongLearners #StampedeStrong
