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!

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

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.

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

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!

Every morning, Rob does more than just get students safely to school—he takes the time to greet them with kindness, encouragement, and a genuine interest in their day.

Thank you, Rob, for starting our students’ mornings with positivity and care. You make a difference before the first bell even rings!

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!

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!

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!
