Our first New Buffalo Elementary Leadership Team meeting will be held next Wednesday, August 20, at 4:00 PM in the media center. This group was previously known as the New Buffalo Elementary PTO. Please join us to plan our parent committees and the many amazing family events we have coming such as the book fair at Back to School Night, the annual fundraiser, holiday shop, and end of year carnival. We hope you can make it!

I am also resharing the book fair sign up for Back to School Night. This is a BIG event and we need lots of volunteers! Even though you may see several names under each time slot we need more help. Please consider signing up if you can.

Dear New Buffalo Families, Due to the forecasted potential for rain and lightning this evening, the Class of 2025 Graduation Ceremony will be moved indoors to the Gold Gym at New Buffalo High School, beginning at 7:00 PM. We appreciate your understanding as we prioritize the safety of our students, staff, and guests. These decisions are never easy, and we thank you for your patience and flexibility. We look forward to celebrating this special milestone together! Sincerely, New Buffalo Area Schools Administration

During our last week of school your child will be coming home with 6 free books to read and use to complete an array of reading activities. We recommend that students finish 2 bingos on their bingo board this Summer! All returning students that bring in their completed activities will receive an ice cream treat at Nancy’s in the Fall. Please reach out (smead@nbas.org) if you have any questions about the Summer Reading Challenge.

The Puppetry Workshop with Jean Kuecher was a huge success! We will definitely have to do this again, because we had more students wanting to attend than we planned for! Thank you to all of the family members that attended this public puppet show. It was a wonderful thing to see these kids practice and memorize that short story in a short time!
