Each week students have the opportunity to be nominated as a “Student of the Week” when they demonstrate any of the 7 Keys to Success we teach at Buckalew.  Students nominated receive a special certificate to take home and they are then entered into a weekly drawing.  The winners are on the announcements and are presented a “Principal’s Medallion.”  One student per grade level is drawn weekly. Congratulations to the following students: Kailtyn Kaufman, for working well in groups and with others; Benny Brown, for helping a new student; Andie George, for putting first things first; Yasmin Mathews, for seeking to understand and being a friend to everyone; and Mackenzie Stumph, for being a very, hard worker.
