The day included leadership and team-building games, training on leading by example and with our voices, a guest speaker, and even a handshake competition. Congratulations to Kinley, our first-ever handshake champion! Students are now ready to take these skills back to their schools and lead with confidence.
A huge thank-you to our Cru Leader Sponsors for designing meaningful activities, our amazing parent volunteers, and guest speaker Shane Iwashige, a certified leadership coach with the Kansas Leadership Center.
It was a fantastic day, and we’re already excited for next year!

Mrs. Sarah Jane Seifreid, Plum Creek music teacher, is our nominee for the Kansas Horizon Award, which recognizes second year teachers who distinguished themselves during their very first year in the profession.
Our elementary nominee for Kansas Teacher of the Year is Mrs. Sarah Cherry, preschool teacher at Plum Creek.
Our secondary nominee for Kansas Teacher of the Year is Mrs. Deanna Herrin, math teacher at Buhler High School.

Buhler USD 313 is looking to grow our substitute pool for the 25/26 school year. Substituting is a great job for those looking to make their own schedule and make a difference in the lives of students and teachers. Teachers particularly value quality substitutes so they can get well when they are sick, hone their craft at professional development, attend appointments and events, and ensure they don't need to cover for their colleagues during their prep time.
Thank you for considering this crucial role. Please share this opportunity with friends and family who may be interested! Apply online here: https://www.applitrack.com/buhlerschools/onlineapp/default.aspx?Category=Substitute+Teacher
