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!

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.

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

Mascot Monday
Looks like Chip found a new favorite toy... our school backpack vacuum!
This Friday is Custodian Appreciation Day, and Chip wants to give a big shout-out to our amazing custodial team. They keep Buffalo Point shining every single day, and we couldn’t do it without them!
Let’s show them some love this week by giving a smile, a thank-you, or even a high five when you see them around campus.

Today we’re giving a big shout-out to Rob, our amazing bus driver!

Words from the Herd Wednesday
A student came to the office this week with her glasses in serious trouble—the earpiece was completely flat.
Our office assistant asked, “Do you want to call your mom?”
She shot back instantly:
“No way!”
Gotta admire that mix of confidence, independence… and maybe just a little hope Mom never finds out!

Teaching Tuesday
In art class, our students were inspired by The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds—a story about creativity, courage, and making your mark.
Each student created their own unique artistic dot, and together their work has become a wave of color now displayed outside the art room.
This project is a reminder that when we each add our own creativity, we build something even more beautiful together!

Thank You Thursday
We are so grateful to the Syracuse West Stake for turning September 13 into a true day of service at Buffalo Point! Volunteers assembled snack kits and potty kits, painted racks, helped in the library, built shelves, and spread kindness that will ripple far beyond our school.
Because of their generosity, we were even able to share supplies with Island View and Holt Elementary. Thank you for strengthening our community through service!

Words from the Herd Wednesday ✨
During Constitution Month, we’re reminded that good citizenship isn’t just about laws—it’s about looking out for one another.
One teacher shared how, while working individually with students, a 'good citizen student' noticed classmates needing help. She quickly stepped in with, “What do you need?” or “I can help you.” Because of her willingness to serve, the class now recognizes her as the expert, and the teacher was able to keep working without interruption.
That’s citizenship in action: using our initiative to support others and strengthen the whole community.

This famous painting shows the Constitutional Convention of 1787, where leaders from across the young nation gathered to create the United States Constitution.
At Buffalo Point, even our 1st graders begin learning about these important ideas—freedom, fairness, and working together. It’s never too early to introduce the principles that make our country strong.
