Officer Bradish presented Mrs. White with flowers after yesterday's game to show his appreciation for supporting this and many other events at Buist Academy.
He acknowledged the person behind the scenes who often sparks an idea or just provides a simple "yes" that allows others the opportunity to grow and shine. We all truly appreciate having such a dedicated and inspiring leader! Thank you, Mrs. White!

National Career Development Month
National Career Development Month in November signals a time for students and employees to focus on their future career choices. This month our School Counselors, Ms. Vitek, and Ms. Bowles will be discussing careers during counseling lessons.
It is important for students to make connections between the things they are learning now and future career choices. Students will have opportunities to discuss goals and options for college and future careers.

Read-A-Thon
Read-A-Thon
Buist Academy has decided to hold a Read-a-thon again this year! Read-a-thons get your reader excited about reading and it gives friends and family the opportunity to encourage your child to read even more.
Instructions on how to activate your reader's personal page will be sent home this week. This page is where you will be able to view and record their progress.
Every dollar Buist receives from Read-a-thon will be used to purchase a diverse collection of books for the school library and for classroom libraries.
School Goals
Raise $8000
Every student to read at least 500 minutes
Don't miss the fun! We will have individual, class, and school-wide incentives. We hope EVERYONE participates.
Business owners can donate on this link https://www.read-a-thon.com/donate/ enter the code 44156 and their business will be seen on Read-a-thon class pages.
Disclaimer: Typically all grades on the report card count towards the recognition of honor roll. Foreign language grades were excluded for the first-quarter honor roll. All grades will be used for the identification of honor roll recipients for the remaining three quarters. All first quarter grades will be used in the calculation of end of year honor roll identification.
