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.

Words from the Herd Wednesday 🦬💬
This week’s words remind us how kindness, family, and citizenship all build our Stampede spirit:
1. A sweet kindergartener showed her heart, saying, “He’s bald, but I’m not going to tell him that.”
2. A second grader couldn’t wait for Grand Day: “Oh yeah, my grandpa’s coming and he’s bringing me a chicken leg.”
3. And from a book we’ve been reading together: “The example of our initiative may help others more clearly see, the kind of person and even hero, that we can choose to be!”

Kindness, connection, and courage—together they make us better. #WordsFromTheHerd #BuildingTogether #StampedeStrong

Did you know the USS Constitution, also called Old Ironsides, is the world’s oldest commissioned warship still afloat? Launched in 1797, it earned its famous nickname during the War of 1812 when enemy cannonballs seemed to bounce off its strong oak hull.

Our 2nd graders learn about this legendary ship as part of their literacy curriculum—just one way we’re “Building Together” through stories of courage, history, and the Constitution.

Words from the Herd – Constitution Month
Every morning our students pledge, ending with the promise of “liberty and justice for all.” At Buffalo Point, those words guide more than just the flag salute—they remind us that in our school community, everyone deserves fairness, respect, and the freedom to learn and grow. Students, teachers, staff, and families all work together to make sure those values shine through in classrooms, on the playground, and at home.

Teaching Tuesday
This morning one of our Student Council members did our morning announcements (a Monday tradition!) and shared her own words about how we can Build Together:

“Working together and having fun.”

Her reminder is a perfect connection to Constitution Month—just as our nation was built on collaboration and shared ideas, we continue to grow stronger when we listen, learn, and build together.
