Any canned goods can be taken to the PHMS office. Buhler Grade School is collecting pop tabs until April 2024. Start saving and stay tuned for more information about how you can get them to BGS to help support the Ronald McDonald House.

Join us to celebrate and thank our outgoing board of education members for their service! This coming Monday, December 11th from 5:30-6:00 at the Burkholder Administrative Center. Thank you for your service! #BetterTogether

School attendance matters, especially in the early grades when we are covering crucial phonics skills and foundational number sense. Take a look through the images to see all the ways 90% attendance positively affects student learning. Our district goal is for at least 93% of our students to attend at least 90% of school days. No, we don't want you to send your children to school if they're sick, but do try your best to schedule appointments and trips outside of school time. We get it, that feels like a tall order! We're all in this together! #BetterTogether

Test

Reading opens doors! If you have a small child at home, read two picture books before bed. If your child is older try a chapter or two before bed. The more a child is read to the easier it is to learn how to read independently! #BetterTogether
