Today


The Duct Tape Challenge

Are you proud of the good ol’ Buxton Chrome? How about the old adage, “if it’s broke, duct tape it!” Or, “In duct tape, we trust?” Well, then please, pay attention. Would you like to see a principal duct taped to a wall? I’ll say that again, Would you like to see a principal duct taped to a wall?  I know I would!

Baillie Clan will be hosting a fundraiser to help this dream become a reality! Mr. Harris has graciously volunteered to be the target of our duct tape aspirations, and will literally be taped to the wall during the whole school assembly, next Friday, April 17th.

Sales will be held during homeroom and everyone, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade, student and teacher alike,  is invited to participate. Each dollar paid will sponsor one foot of tape to be used in making Mr. Harris and the wall, one and the same! Show your support and school spirit, and join us in this duct tape madness!

Don’t worry either, all that duct tapey goodness will be collected and recycled into a collection of duct tape products, showcasing this humble adhesive’s amazing versatility!

Travel to Greece!  
Find out where the gods and goddesses lived.  Find out where democracy was born.  Join Mr. Robertson on today, at 6pm, to find out more about Greece in 2016. Don’t miss it!

6th Grade Indoor Intramural Soccer 
Begins May 5 - June 4, and meet in the gym on Tuesday & Thursdays.  Sign ups are located outside Ms. Riesbeck’s room and are on a first come first serve basis.
